From Wikipedia

In phonetics, a plosive, also known as an occlusive or simply a stop, is a consonant in which airflow is blocked entirely at some point in the vocal tract, forming a complete stricture. Plosives may be pulmonic or glottalic egressive. The occlusion may be made with the tongue tip or blade (such as [t, d]), tongue body (such as [k, ɡ]), lips (such as [p, b]), or glottis (such as [ʔ]). Plosives contrast with other speech sounds including nasals, where the vocal tract is blocked but airflow continues through the nose, and with fricatives, where partial occlusion impedes but does not block airflow in the vocal tract.
