Underneath the cricoid cartilage

99
Q

What is a potential complication of the removal of the thyroid gland?

A

Inferior Laryngeal Nerve can get damaged

100
Q

Where is the reccurance of the left recurrant laryngeal nerve (RLN)?

arises anteriorly at the level of the arch of the aorta and loops posteriorly under the aortic arch and back up through the neck

101
Q

Where is the recurrance of the right recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN)?

A

loops around the right subclavian artery

102
Q

What are the extensions on the upper posterior portion of the thyroid cartilage called?

A

Superior horns

103
Q

What do the superior horns of the thyroid cartilage connect to?

A

connects back of the thyroid cartilage to the horns of the hyoid bone via the thyrohyoid ligament

104
Q

What is the extension at the base of the thyroid cartilage? What does it connect to?

A

Cricothyroid joint; cricoid cartilage

105
Q
