Control of Hyoid-Larynx Complex by Jo Estill

First question: The tongue must apply a mechanical force to the larynx via the hyoid bone.

Interaction between pitch control and vowel articulation (Honda & Baer, 1981)
①hyoid bone advancement
②CT-joint rotation③vocal fold elongation
Advancement of the hyoid bone results in cricothyroid joint rotation to stretch the vocal folds.

Larynx Movement: Three Subjects
As F0 rises, the hyoid bone moves forward.As F0 falls, the larynx falls along the cervical spine.

F0 Control by Extrinsic MusclesF0 raising by advancement of the hyoid bone
F0 lowering by lowering of the cricoid cartilage
genioglossus& geniohyoid
The cricoid cartilage falls along the cervical lordosis.
strap muscles
Extrinsic F0 Control by GH and SH ?The hyoid bone advances by GH and lowers by SH.This mechanism must be stabilized by an antagonist muscle to GH (most likely the pharyngeal constrictor).
Sternohyoid (SH)
Geniohyoid (GH)Antagonist ?
New Project for Soprano Voice (2010~)“Mesopharyngeal Ring” observed on S2
S2 at G5
The bulge of the posterior pharyngeal wall is possibly due to forceful contraction of the middle pharyngeal constrictor muscle (MPC).
MPC
Three-way Support of Hyoid Bone
GH:Protractor
MPC:Retractor
SH: Depressor
The hyoid-larynx complex is controlled for F0 in speech and singing by three-way support of the hyoid bone with GH, SH, and MPC.
Jo’s Soft X-ray: out of 9 pictures High-dosage X-ray clearly elucidates hyoid-larynx complex.

Image Standardization for ComparisonRotation to horizontal “palatal plane”
The palatal plane is defined as a standard plane by the anterior (ANS) and posterior (PNS) nasal spine.
