Primary Elevators

A 
Stylopharyngeus
Salpingopharyngeus
Palatopharyngeus
Thyrohyoid
(Attached to thyroid)
21
Q

23
Q

Lymphatic drainage of larynx

Above and below vocal cords

A

Above VC (lymphatics which pierce thyrohyoid membrane)- upper deep cervical lymph node

Below VC ( “ “ Cricothyroid membrane)—->prelaryngeal and pretracheal lymph node———->lower deep cervical lymph and mediastinal lymph nodes)

24
Q

Lymphatics in vocal cord

A

NONE!!! Hence rarely metastases here
