“…Yet, the thyroid and arytenoid cartilages demonstrate a modular architecture and distinct patterns of shape development that do not support a hypothesis of strong morphological integration. We suggest that further analyses need to look at subregions of each cartilage to better assess local functional constraints, for example, one of the joint regions (e.g., Storck & Unteregger, 2018).…”

Purpose The larynx plays a role in swallowing, respiration, and voice production. All three functions change during ontogeny. We investigated ontogenetic shape changes using a mouse model to inform our understanding of how laryngeal form and function are integrated. We understand the characterization of developmental changes to larynx anatomy as a critical step toward using rodent models to study human vocal communication disorders. Method Contrast-enhanced micro-computed tomography image stacks were used to generate three-dimensional reconstructions of the CD-1 mouse ( Mus musculus ) laryngeal cartilaginous framework. Then, we quantified size and shape in four age groups: pups, weanlings, young, and old adults using a combination of landmark and linear morphometrics. We analyzed postnatal patterns of growth and shape in the laryngeal skeleton, as well as morphological integration among four laryngeal cartilages using geometric morphometric methods. Acoustic analysis of vocal patterns was employed to investigate morphological and functional integration. Results Four cartilages scaled with negative allometry on body mass. Additionally, thyroid, arytenoid, and epiglottic cartilages, but not the cricoid cartilage, showed shape change associated with developmental age. A test for modularity between the four cartilages suggests greater independence of thyroid cartilage shape, hinting at the importance of embryological origin during postnatal development. Finally, mean fundamental frequency, but not fundamental frequency range, varied predictably with size. Conclusion In a mouse model, the four main laryngeal cartilages do not develop uniformly throughout the first 12 months of life. High-dimensional shape analysis effectively quantified variation in shape across development and in relation to size, as well as clarifying patterns of covariation in shape among cartilages and possibly the ventral pouch.

“…12,15 Moreover, the type of cricothyroid joint also seems to play an important role in the elongation of the vocal fold. 16,17 Interestingly, we did not find any studies that analyzed the length of the vocal fold induced by medialization, with or without additional AA/AP. A further study investigating the influence of vocal fold injection onto the position of the arytenoid showed a combination of medial rotation and medial translation movement of the arytenoid after intervention.…”

“…A greater percentage of passaggio notes was identified in high voice types (tenors and sopranos), to which a hypothesis may be a wider phonatory range in high voices (12) , which would increase the odds of detecting passaggio notes. This hypothesis could be confirmed by comparing phonatory ranges between voice types.…”

“…It must be also highlighted that differences on the topic are evident in the literature (12)(13)(14)(15) , demonstrating that there is no consensus between authors. The lack of studies whose analyses consider different emission conditions -such as ascending, descending, strong, and weak -also hinders analyses per note or frequency.…”

Purpose To analyze the passaggio in the voice range profile of choristers, by identifying the fundamental frequencies and intensities, both in the change to the high and low registers, comparing them, by voice types. Method 67 choristers participated, mean age of 27.79 (± 7.50) years old, of the following voice types: soprano (n = 20), alto (n = 17), tenor (n = 15) and bass (n = 15). For data collection and analysis, the Vocalgram software (CTS Informática) was used, which recorded the emission of the vowel / Ɛ / in ascending and descending glissando, up to the lowest and highest note in the weakest and strongest intensities possible. Results The values of frequencies and respective intensities of the passaggio were identified in ascending and descending, strong and weak emissions in all voice types. There was a higher occurrence of voice break in the high voices, compared to the low ones. The average values of the frequencies found corresponded to different tones from those established in the literature for all voice types. Conclusion The passaggio identified in the vocal range profile of choristers, based on their frequencies and intensities were more frequent in soprano na tenor, compared to alto and bass, in changes to the low and high registers.
