Iyini le glottis esiza izwi lakho? Ake sithole!

Wake wazibuza ukuthi izwi lakho liphuma kanjani, lawa magama akheka kanjani lapho sikhuluma futhi sihlabelela? Ingxenye encane kodwa ebaluleke kakhulu yomphimbo wethu iyasiza kakhulu ngalokhu. Leyo ngxenye ibizwa ngokuthi ama-glottis. Kungenzeka ukuthi awukaze uzwe leli gama ngaphambili. Kodwa kulungile, namuhla sizokhuluma ngakho kalula.

Ngakho-ke, kwenzekani kulesi silo? Kungani sibalulekile emizimbeni yethu?

Kalula nje, i-glottis yakho yindawo ephakathi kwebhokisi lakho lezwi , noma i-larynx. Yilapho kutholakala khona izintambo zakho zezwi (noma ukugoqa kwezwi). Kuhlanganisa nesikhala esiphakathi kwalezo zintambo zezwi kanye noqwanga oluzishukumisayo.

Abantu abaningi bacabanga ukuthi i-larynx iyibhokisi nje elinezintambo zezwi ezakha izwi. Kodwa-ke, ezingxenyeni ze-larynx, izintambo zakho zezwi empeleni zikule ngxenye ebizwa ngokuthi i-glottis. Kungenxa yale glottis kanye nezintambo zezwi ukuthi uyakwazi ukukhuluma nokwenza imisindo abanye abangakubona.

I-glottis yenza imisebenzi emithathu eyinhloko:

1. Kukusiza ukuphefumula: Ngokuvamile, izintambo zakho zezwi zivulekile ngesimo "se-V" ngaphakathi kwe-glottis. Uma uphefumula, umoya ovela ekhaleni noma emlonyeni wakho udlula kulezi zintambo zezwi ezivulekile uye epayipini lakho lomoya nasemaphashini akho. Uma uphefumula, izintambo zezwi zihlala zivulekile.

2. Kuvimbela ukudla ukuthi kungangeni emaphashini: Uma ugwinya okuthile, i-epiglottis, ingxenye efana ne-flap ye -larynx yakho engenhla, ivala umnyango we-larynx. Bese, ukudla kwehlela emphinjeni wakho esikhundleni se-windpipe yakho. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, izintambo zakho zezwi nazo ziyavaleka ngaphakathi kwe-glottis. Lena enye indlela yokuphepha evimbela ukudla ukuthi kungangeni endleleni yokuphefumula. Cabanga ukuthi kungaba nzima kangakanani ukube ukudla okuncane noma amanzi angena emphinjeni wakho! Le ndlela ikhona ukuvimbela lokho ukuthi kungenzeki.

3. Kukusiza ukuthi wenze imisindo: Uma uqala ukukhuluma noma ukucula, izintambo zakho zezwi ziyafinyela bese zivaleka. Umoya ophuma emaphashini akho ungena esikhaleni esingaphansi kwezintambo zezwi, futhi uma lowo moya unamandla anele, izintambo zezwi ziqala ukudlidliza. Lokho kudlidliza yikho okudala amaza omsindo. Ungakhuluma futhi wenze imisindo ehlukene ngenxa yokudlidliza okwenzeka ngaphakathi kwe-glottis.

Kuyini ukuma kwe-glottal? Ake siqonde kancane.

Lokhu kuma kwe-glottal kuyindlela enhle yokuqonda ukuthi i-glottis ikusiza kanjani ukuthi ukhulume.Zama i-"Glottal Stop." Imisindo eminingi iqala kuma-glottis akho, bese umsindo uhamba esikhaleni esingaphezu kwama-glottis, ungene kuma-sinuses akho, nasemlonyeni wakho, lapho uthola khona izici zawo ezihlukile. Kodwa nge-"Glottal Stop," umsindo uqala futhi uphele kuma-glottis.

Ukuze wenze i-Glottal Stop, udinga ukumisa ukudlula komoya ku-Glottis ngenkathi wenza umsindo wonkamisa. Cabanga ngakho njengokusho "uh-oh." Noma, sho u-"t" egameni elithi "city" ngaphandle kokulibiza (si-e). Uma wenza lokhu, izintambo zakho zezwi ziyavevezela ekuqaleni kwegama, bese zivala ngokushesha phakathi (isibonelo, ngemuva kuka-"a" ku-"a-uh" noma ngemuva kuka-"si" ku-"si-e"). Umisa umsindo ku-Glottis. Manje, zama ukubiza u-"t" egameni elithi "city" ngendlela efanele. Uzogwema i-Glottal Stop.

Zama ukuqonda umehluko phakathi kokuthi umsindo uzwakala kanjani uma uphela kuma-glottis ngale ndlela, nokuthi uzizwa kanjani uma usho amagama ngendlela evamile ngaphandle kwawo.

Ikuphi ngempela le glottis?

I-glottis yakho itholakala ngemuva kwe-cartilage ye-thyroid, okuyithambo emphinjeni wakho, noma i-apula lika-Adam. Itholakala phakathi kwengxenye ephezulu ye-larynx yakho (ebizwa ngokuthi i-supraglottis) kanye nengxenye engezansi (ebizwa ngokuthi i-subglottis).

• I-Supraglottis: Lena indawo emise okwe-crescent ngaphambili kwentamo yakho esukela phezulu kwethambo le-hyoid kuya ku-glottis. Yilapho i-epiglottis yakho itholakala khona, futhi lapho uzothola khona imigoqo ye-mucous membrane (ebizwa ngokuthi ama-ventricular folds, ngezinye izikhathi abizwa ngokuthi "izintambo zezwi ezingamanga").
• I-Glottis: Lokhu kusukela emngceleni ongezansi we-supraglottis kuya emngceleni ongaphezulu we-subglottis.
• Ama-Subglottis: Lokhu kusukela phansi kwe-glottis kuya ku-cartilage ye-cricoid (i-cartilage efana nendandatho ezungeze umphimbo wakho).

Yiziphi izingxenye zeGlottis?

I-glottis inezakhiwo ezimbili eziyinhloko: izintambo zakho zezwi kanye nomgodi ophakathi kwazo, i-rima glottidis .

• Izintambo Zezwi: Lezi yizicubu ezimbili zemisipha ezilawula ukuphakama kwezwi lakho (ukuthi liphakeme noma liphansi kangakanani). Izintambo zezwi ezinkulu nezijiyile zikhiqiza izwi eliphansi (eliqinile), kanti izintambo zezwi ezincane nezincane zikhiqiza izwi eliphakeme (elithambile).
• URima Glottidis:Lesi yisikhala esiphakathi kwezintambo zakho zezwi. Uma i-rima glottidis ivuliwe, umoya ungadlula ezintanjeni zezwi. Uma ukhuluma, i-rima glottidis ivaliwe. Umoya uhamba ezintanjeni zezwi. Kulesi simo esivaliwe, ukudlidliza okubangela ukuthi zishayisane kudala umsindo.

Ama-glotti akho aqukethe ne-cartilage , imisipha , kanye nemisipha esekela futhi inyakazise izintambo zakho zezwi. Ukuphakama kwezwi lakho kunqunywa kakhulu ngobukhulu kanye nesisindo sezintambo zakho zezwi, kodwa indlela ozilawula ngayo nayo iyakuthinta lokhu. Isibonelo, le misipha ingaqina noma iphumule uma ulingisa izwi elinomoya ophansi noma uhlabelela kakhulu.

Ibukeka kanjani i-glottis?

Uma ubungabuka ama-glottis uphezulu ngqo, ungase ukhunjuzwe iso lekati. Cabanga nge-rima glottidis njengomfundi omnyama phakathi kweso, kanye nezintambo zezwi njengezinhlangothi zangakwesokudla nesobunxele zalowo mfundi.

Ukubukeka kwama-glottis kuyahlukahluka kuye ngokuthi i-rima glottidis yakho ivuliwe noma ivaliwe. Uma ivaliwe, izintambo zezwi ziyahlanganiswa futhi zibukeke njengomugqa. Uma i-rima glottidis ivuliwe, ungabona isimo "se-V", lapho izintambo zezwi zakha izinhlangothi zesobunxele nesokudla ze-"V".

Yiziphi izifo nezinkinga ezithinta ama-glottis?

Kunezimo eziningana nezinkinga ezingathinta ama-glottis. Ake sibheke ukuthi ziyini:

• I-Glottic Stenosis: Lolu uhlobo lwe-laryngeal stenosis. I-Glottic stenosis yilapho i-glottis yakho iba mncane kakhulu. Ingaba khona lapho uzalwa. Noma ingavela ngemva kokwakheka kwezicubu zesilonda ngenxa yokulimala noma ukutheleleka.
• Ukungakwazi Ukuphefumula: Kulesi simo, izintambo zezwi azivaleki kahle uma ukhuluma. Lokhu kungandisa ingozi yokudla nokuphuza ukungena emphinjeni (i-aspiration). Kungabangela nezimpawu ezifana nokuhosha kanye nobunzima bokugwinya.
• Umdlavuza We-Glottic: Lolu uhlobo lomdlavuza we-laryngeal. Umdlavuza we-Glottic uqala emithanjeni yezwi noma ezicutshini eziwusekelayo e-glottis.

Futhi, izimo ezithinta izintambo zakho zezwi zingathinta nama-glottis. Ezinye zazo zifaka:

• I-Laryngitis (lesi yisimo esivame kakhulu)
• I-Laryngospasm (ukuvuvukala okungazelelwe kwe-larynx)
• Ukucindezeleka Kwemisipha (i-Dysphonia) (Izinkinga zezwi ezibangelwa ukucindezeleka kwemisipha)
• I-Reinke's Edema (isimo lapho izintambo zezwi zivuvukala khona)
• I-Spasmodic Dysphonia (izinguquko zezwi ezibangelwa inkinga yezinzwa ezintanjeni zezwi)
• Ukuvinjelwa Kwe-Laryngeal Okungavuvukali (okwakubizwa ngokuthi Ukungasebenzi Kahle Kwe-Vocal Cord)
• Amaqhubu e-Vocal Cord, ama-Polyps, nama-Cysts
• Ukukhubazeka Kwentambo Yezwi noma i-Paresis (Ukukhubazeka Kwentambo Yezwi noma i-Paresis)

Yiziphi izimpawu ezivamile zenkinga nge-glottis?

Uma unesifo esithinta ama-glottis akho, ungase ube nezimpawu ezifana nalezi:

• Ukuhosha noma ukushintsha kwezwi (i-Dysphonia)
• Ukuzwa ubuhlungu noma ukungakhululeki lapho ugwinya noma ukhuluma
• Umphimbo obuhlungu noma ukukhwehlela
• Ubunzima bokugwinya (i-Dysphagia)
• Ubunzima bokuphefumula (i-Dyspnea)

Uma unezimpawu ezinjengalezi, kungcono ukufuna iseluleko sezokwelapha.

Yiziphi izivivinyo ezivamile ezenziwayo ukuhlola impilo yama-glottis?

Kuye ngezimpawu zakho, kungadingeka ukuthi ubonane nochwepheshe ukuze ahlole izinkinga ezithinta i-glottis. Ochwepheshe bezindlebe, impumulo, nomphimbo (ENT), odokotela be-laryngologists abelapha izinkinga zebhokisi lezwi, kanye nodokotela bezifo zolimi lokukhuluma (SLPs) abangochwepheshe kulokhu bangasiza.

Ezinye izivivinyo ongase ufune ukuzenza:

• Ukuhlolwa okusebenzisa ikhamera ekhethekile ukubheka eduze ama-glotti akho. Izibonelo zifaka phakathi i-laryngoscopy kanye ne-videostroboscopy.
• Ukuhlolwa kwezithombe ukuze kubhekwe ukukhubazeka kwesakhiwo. Isibonelo, ukuskena kwe-CT (Computed Tomography Scan) noma i-MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging).
• Ukuhlolwa kwelebhu ukuhlola ukutheleleka, njengokuhlolwa kwegazi kanye nokuhlolwa komphimbo.
• Ukuhlola isampula yezicubu ukuze kubonakale ukuthi zikhona yini izimpawu zomdlavuza. Lokhu kubizwa ngokuthi i-biopsy.

Yiziphi izindlela zokwelapha ezivamile zezifo ezihlobene ne-glottis?

Nazi ezinye izindlela zokwelapha ezivamile:

• Imithi yokunciphisa ukutheleleka nokuvuvukala, kanye nokuqeda ubuhlungu.
• Ukwelashwa Ngezwi .
• Ukuphumula izwi (hhayi ukukhuluma noma ukucula).
• Kwezinye izimo, kudingeka ukuhlinzwa .

Ngingawanakekela kanjani ama-glotti ami kahle? (Okokugcina, izinto okufanele ngizikhumbule)

Ukunakekela kahle ama-glotti akho kusho ukuthatha izinyathelo zokuvikela imisipha yakho yezwi. Nazi ezinye izinto ongazenza:

• Gwema ukusebenzisa ugwayi futhi unciphise ukusetshenziswa kotshwala:Ingozi yokuba nomdlavuza we-glottic iyanda ngokusebenzisa imikhiqizo kagwayi nokuphuza utshwala obuningi. Ukubhema notshwala nakho kungawomisa imisipha yakho yezwi, kuyenze ibe sengozini enkulu yokulimala.
• Hlala Umanzi: Ukuhlala umanzi kusho ukuthi izintambo zakho zezwi akudingeki zisebenze kanzima ukuze zidlidlize. Lokhu kwenza kube lula ukusebenzisa izwi lakho futhi kungenzeki ukuthi lonakale. Futhi, ukuhlala umanzi kusiza ekunciphiseni amafinyila angase akheke kuma-glottis akho, okwenza kube lula ukuwahlanza. Lokhu kuzokusiza ugweme ukukhwehlela nokuhlanza umphimbo wakho. Ukukhwehlela akukuhle ezintanjeni zakho zezwi.
• Vimbela izifo zokuphefumula: Thatha izinyathelo zokuvimbela ukugula. Geza izandla zakho njalo, futhi uhlale kude nabantu abanomkhuhlane kuze kube yilapho belulama.
• Ziqhelelanise nezinto eziyingozi emphinjeni wakho: Ziqhelelanise kakhulu izindawo ezinothuli oluningi namakhemikhali ngangokunokwenzeka. Lokhu kungaba yingozi emphinjeni wakho.
• Gwema ukucindezela izwi lakho: Uma izwi lakho lishile noma lizwakala libuthakathaka, zama ukungakhulumi isikhashana. Uma usafuna ukukhuluma, kodwa ufuna ukuphumula izwi lakho, sebenzisa imakrofoni.

Nakuba igama elithi "ibhokisi lezwi" lingase lizwakale lilula, i-larynx yakho empeleni iyisakhiwo esiyinkimbinkimbi esinezingxenye eziningana, okuhlanganisa ne-glottis. Ukwazi nge-glottis yakho kungakusiza ukuthi uqonde kabanzi ngendlela izintambo zakho zezwi ezisebenza ngayo. Kungakusiza futhi ukuthi uzinakekele kahle. Nakuba i-glottis yakho iyingxenye encane yomphimbo wakho, lesi sitho esincane sidlala indima enkulu ekukusizeni ukuthi uphefumule, ukhulume, futhi udale izwi lakho eliyingqayizivele. Ngakho-ke, kubalulekile ukulinakekela!
