Physiological Studies of the Palatopharyngeal Muscle as a Speech Muscle in the Adjustment of Velar Position during Speech Production
When the distance between the origin and arrest of the PP is achieved through the velar elevation, the tonic condition and muscle strength of the PP are enhanced. When the scaffold below the PP is stabilized by the contractions of the glossopharyngeal part of the superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle during the production of the low-back vowel, the PP likely contributes to regulation of the velar position.
