Q

Intrinsic muscles- Vocalis

A

Origin- lateral surface of the vocal process of the arytenoid cartilage
Insertion- Ipsilateral vocal ligament
Action- relaxes posterior vocal ligaments whilst maintaining tension on anterior part
Innervation- Inferior laryngeal nerve, terminal branches of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (CNX)

21
Q

Muscles responsible for pitch

A

1) Cricothyroid= principal tensor
2) Thyro-arytenoid= principal relaxers
Changing the tension on the vocal ligaments changes the pitch of the sound produced

22
Q

Posterior crico-arytenoid function

A

Sole abductor, Antagonistic to lateral crico-arytenoids

23
Q

Muscles responsible for phonation

A

1) Lateral crico-arytenoid (principal adductor)
2) Transverse and oblique arytenoid
When actions combined causes vibration of the vocal ligaments (phonation)

24
Q

Larynx

A

A hollow tube with a cartilaginous framework. It found at the anterior aspect of the neck at the C3-C6 level. It connects the pharynx with the trachea. It guards the airway during swallowing so that food stuff does not enter the trachea. Important in sound producing. It is suspended from the Hyoid bone above.

25
Q

The Laryngeal inlet

A

The opening of the larynx

26
Q

Larynx - Quiet respiration

A 
Arytenoid cartilage- abducted
Rima glottidis- triangular
Rima vestibuli- open
Laryngeal inlet- open
Muscles are relaxed
27
Q

Larynx- forced inspiration

A

Arytenoid cartilage- laterally rotated, by action of posterior crico-arytenoids
Vocal folds- abducted
Rima glottidis- widened

28
Q

Larynx- phonation

A

Arytenoid cartilage- adducted
Vocal folds- adducted
Rima glottidis- closed
By action of transverse and oblique arytenoids and lateral crico-arytenoids. Changes in pitch are due to vocalis, cricothyroid and thyro-arytenoid muscles

29
Q

Larynx-swallowing

A 
Rima glottidis- closed
Rima vestibuli- closed
Vestibule- closed
Laryngeal inlet- narrowed
The larynx moves up and forwards causing the epiglottis to swing down. The laryngeal inlet closes.
30
Q

Blood supply to the right side of the larynx

A

Arch of Aorta –> Brachiocephalic artery –> Subclavian artery –> Thyrocervical trunk –> Inferior thyroid artery –> Inferior laryngeal artery

31
Q

Blood supply to the left side of the larynx

A

Arch of Aorta –> Common carotid artery –> External carotid artery –> Superior thyroid artery –> Superior laryngeal artery

32
Q

Blood supply to the internal surface of the larynx

A

The superior laryngeal artery

33
Q

Blood supply to the Cricothyroid muscle

A

The Cricothyroid artery which is a branch of the superior thyroid artery

34
Q

Blood supply to the mucosal membranes and the muscles of the inferior part of the larynx

A

The inferior laryngeal artery

35
Q

Venous drainage on the right side of the Larynx

A

Superior laryngeal vein –> Superior thyroid muscle –> Internal jugular vein –> Brachiocephalic vein –> Superior vena cava
The venous drainage accompanies the arterial supply

36
Q

Venous drainage on the left side of the larynx

A

Inferior laryngeal vein –> Inferior thyroid vein –> Left brachiocephalic vein –> Superior vena cava
The venous drainage accompanies the arterial supply

37
Q

The recurrent laryngeal nerve supplies

A

1) The mucosa below the vocal folds

2) All intrinsic muscles of the larynx except the cricothyroid muscle

38
Q

What does the superior laryngeal nerve supply

A

Divides into the external and internal laryngeal nerve. The internal laryngeal nerve supplies sensory information from the laryngeal mucosa above the vocal folds. The external laryngw

39
Q

Lymphatic supply to the larynx

A

The laryngeal lymphatic vessels are above the vocal cord, they drain into the superior cervical lymph nodes. The lymphatic vessels below the vocal folds drain into the tracheal or Paratracheal lymph nodes. This then drains into the inferior deep cervical lymph nodes

40
Q

The 5 paired muscles of the soft palate

A
  • Tensor veli palatini
  • Levator veli palatini
  • Palatopharyngeus
  • Palatoglossus
  • Muscle of the uvula
41
Q

Innervation of the soft palate

A

Motor innervation- the Vagus nerve (cranial nerve 10) apart from the tensor veli palatinia which is innervated by the medial pterygoid (a branch of the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve, CN V3).
Sensory innervation- branches of the lesser palatine nerve (a branch of the maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve- CN V2).

42
Q

The lentor veli palatini

A

Elevates the soft palate to close off the nasopharynx from the oropharynx during swallowing.

43
Q

The circular muscles in the pharynx

A

Three constrictor muscles- the Superior pharyngeal constrictor, the Middle pharyngeal constrictor

44
Q

The longitudinal muscles in the pharynx

A

They are composed of three paired muscles: Palatopharyngeaus, Stylopharyngeus and Salpingopharyngeus.

45
Q

Where do the nerves to the Pharynx originate from

A

The Pharyngeal plexus

46
Q

Motor innervation to the pharynx

A

Most of the muscles of the pharynx are innervated by the Vagus nerve (cranial nerve 10). The Stylopharyngeus muscle is supplied by the glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve 9).

47
Q

Sensory innervation to the pharynx

A

Primarily from the Glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve 9). There are a few exceptions:
• The anterior and superior aspect of the nasopharynx is innervated by the maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve (CNV2)
• The inferior aspect of the laryngopharynx (the valleculae and surrounding the beginning of the larynx) is innervated by the internal branch of the vagus nerve (CNX).

48
Q

Blood supply to the pharynx

A

Via branches of the external carotid artery. This includes the ascending pharyngeal artery and branches of the facial, lingual and maxilary artery

49
Q

Venous drainage of the pharynx

A

Achieved by the pharyngeal venous plexus which drains into the internal jugular vein
