Speech Production: relationship between physiological & acoustic characteristics

Match the physiological characteristic of a speech sound (how speech mechanism functions to produce it) with its acoustic result (frequency, intensity, time characteristics of speech sounds)

res = resonant, nonres = non-resonant
