65. What is articulation, and how does the articulatory system produce the sounds of speech?
ANSWER:
Articulation is the process of joining two elements together to form a point of union. In speech science, the
articulatory system brings mobile and immobile articulators together for the purpose of shaping the sounds of
speech. Mobile articulators are the tongue, lower jaw (mandible), velum (soft palate), lips, and cheeks.
Immobile articulators are the alveolar ridge of the upper jaw (maxillae), hard palate, and teeth. The
articulatory system is a very vital part of the communication system.
66. What is the purpose of a bite block?
ANSWER:
A bite block is an appliance that is used to stabilize the mandible, which allows the therapist to evaluate or
exercise other articulars. Bite blocks are available in many shapes and sizes. They are also composed of
different materials. Some bite blocks are made of acrylic blocks that are around 1 cm square. Other softer and
more pliable bite blocks are created from dental impression material. The dental impression bite block has a
