Q

What muscles cause hyolaryngeal elevation?

A

Suprahyoid and longitudinal pharyngeal muscles

19
Q

Why is hyolaryngeal elevation so important in swallowing?

A

Forces epiglottis inferior to the tongue and covers the laryngeal aditus - protecting airway.

20
Q

What is the upper sphincter?

A

Cricopharyngeus

21
Q

What is the cricopharyngeus?

A

Complete circular ring around the cricoid cartilage which serves to control entry to the oesophagus.

22
Q

What nerve innervates the cricopharyngeus?

A

External laryngeal - branch of the vagus

CN X

23
Q

What nerve is responsible for the sensory innervation of the pharynx?

A

Glossopharyngeal

CN IX

24
Q

What does the glossopharyngeal nerve supply sensory innervation too?

A

Posterior 1/3 of the tongue
Palatine tonsils
Wall of the oropharynx

25
Q

What nerve supplies motor innervation to the walls of the pharynx leading to constriction?

A

Vagus CN X

26
Q

Contraction of what muscle causes separation of the vocal folds?

A

Posterior cricoarytenoid

27
Q

Contraction of the cricoarytenoid muscle causes what type of movement and what joint?

A

Lateral rotation at the cricoarytenoid joint.

28
Q

Contraction of what muscles causes a narrowing but not complete closing of the vocal folds?

A

Oblique arytenoid

29
Q

Contraction of what muscle causes the complete closing of the vocal folds?

A

Lateral cricoarytenoid

30
Q

Contraction of this muscle tenses the vocal ligaments

A

Cricothyroid

31
Q

Increasing the tension in the vocal ligaments leads to what?

A

Increased pitch

32
Q

What muscle causes relaxation of the vocal ligaments?

A

Thyroarytenoid muscle

33
Q

Decreasing the tension in the vocal ligaments leads to what?

A

Decreasing the pitch

34
Q

Why do men generally have a lower pitched voice?

A

During puberty they are exposed to higher levels of growth hormone and testosterone, as a result the ligaments are thicker. Like. guitar string the thicker the string the lower the sound produced.

35
Q

What nerve innervates the cricothyroid muscles?

A

External laryngeal nerve

36
Q

What nerve innervates the thyroarytenoid muscle?

A

Internal laryngeal nerve

37
Q

Which is the only muscle involved in phonation which isn’t innervated by the inferior laryngeal nerve?

A

Cricothyroid

38
Q

What nerve innervates the mucosa of the suppraglottis?

above the vocal folds

A

Internal laryngeal nerve

39
Q

What nerve innervates the mucosa of the sub glottis?

A

Inferior laryngeal nerve

40
Q

At what level does the Vagus nerve give off the superior laryngeal nerve?

A

Level of the hyoid C3

41
Q

What branches does the superior laryngeal nerve give off?

A

Internal and External laryngeal nerve

42
Q

What is dysphonia?

A

Impaired ability to produce appropriate level of phonation.

43
Q

How are oral sound produced?

A

Air directed into the oral cavity.

Soft palate tenses an descends CN X

44
Q

What sounds are considered Nasal ?

A
