    utility for both clinical and research applications
  17. Aerodynamic Studies Pressure flow technique
    based on a theory that states that the area of ______ can be determined by _____ and _____?
    an opening

    measuring the sirflow through and pressure drop across that opening
  18. Aerodynamic Studies Pressure flow technique
    As applied to VP function for speech: the mm extent of opening in the VP can be determined by measuring__?
