Q

The most extreme form of the laryngeal adductor reflex results in prolonged tonic contractions of the laryngeal adductor muscles, including those that adduct the ventricular folds and laryngeal vestibule. This is also knows as…

A

dysphonia

21
Q

What perceptual characteristic may clinicians “hear” indicating laryngomalacia in babies/children?

A

inhalatory stridor

22
Q

What other characteristics (pathophysiological) may present in children with laryngomalacia?

A

prolapsed arytenoids

LPR (laryngopharyngeal reflux)

23
Q

What is often the result of the laryngeal adductor reflex?

A

interrupted phonation (e.g., airway protection, laryngospasm)

24
Q

What muscles are involved for speech (besides intrinsic and extrinsic)?

A

diaphragm (relax), external intercostals (relax), abdominal (tense), and internal intercostal muscles (tense)

25
Q

What is difficulty with respiration called?

A

dyspnea

26
Q

which paired cartilages aid in ADDUCTION of the VF?

A

arytenoid cartilages

27
Q

How does the epiglottis impact the laryngeal functions?

A

swallowing and resonance

28
Q

What is the purpose of the corniculate and cuniform cartilages?

A

structural support

29
Q

What are the essential connective tissues of the larynx? (for voicing purposes)

A

median and lateral cricothyroid ligaments, quadrangular membrane, aryepiglottic folds, and true and false VF

30
Q

The vocalis is also known as…

A

the “body” of the VF

31
Q

What are the extrinsic “strap” muscles of the larynx?

A

sternohyoid, sternothyroid, omohyoid, thyrohyoid, mylohyoid, geniohyoid, digastric, and stylohyoid

32
Q

Which extrinsic laryngeal muscles DEPRESS the larynx?

41
Q

What cranial nerve innervates the intrinsic laryngeal muscles?

A

44
Q

Which branch of the vagus nerve aids in ADDUCTION of the VF?

A
