Question 0

Framework of the larynx:

Answer 0

Hyoid bone, epiglottis, thyroid cartilage, arytenoid cartilages, corniculate cartilages, cuneiform cartilages, cricoid cartilage

Question 1

The sound source (voicing)

Answer 1

Phonation

Question 2

Only floating bone in the body, U-shaped, supports tongue, and serves as attachment point for nine muscles

Answer 2

Hyoid bone

Question 3

Leaf-like cartilage that acts as a protective structure to cover the laryngeal opening during swallowing

Answer 3

Epiglottis

Question 4

Largest of the laryngeal cartilages

Answer 4

Thyroid cartilage

Question 5

Rides on the high backed upper surface of the cricoid cartilage; posterior point of attachment for the vocal folds, and provides attachments for the thyromuscularis and thyrovocalis

Answer 5

Arytenoid cartilages

Question 6

2 processes of the arytenoid cartilages:

Answer 6

Vocal process and muscular process

Question 7

One process of the arytenoid cartilages projects anteriorly toward the thyroid notch, vocal fold attached here

Answer 7

Vocal process of the arytenoid cartilage

Question 8

One process of the arytenoid cartilage is the point of attachment for muscles that adduct and abduct the vocal folds

Answer 8

Muscular process of the arytenoid cartilages

Question 9

Sits at the apex of the arytenoid cartilages; horn like shit

Answer 9

Corniculate cartilages

Question 10

Paired wedge-shaped rods in bedded within the aryepiglottic folds

Answer 10

Cuneiform cartilages

Question 11

Complete ring sitting on top of the trachea; “class ring”

Answer 11

Cricoid cartilage

Question 12

Intrinsic ligaments connect the cartilages of the larynx and form the support structure for the cavity of the larynx as well as the vocal folds

Answer 12

Laryngeal membranes

Question 13

(Paired) are the upper portion of the elastic membrane lining the larynx

Answer 13

Quadrangular membranes

Question 14

Connects the thyroid cricoid and arytenoid cartilages

Answer 14

Conus elastics

Question 15

Folds of mucous membrane which enclose ligamentous and muscular fibers, extend from the sides of the epiglottis to the apex is of the arytenoid cartilages

Answer 15

Aryepiglottic folds

Question 16

Five layers of the vocal fold tissues are:

Answer 16

• Squamous epithelium
• lamina propria: superficial layer, intermediate layer, deep layer
• thyrovocalis muscle

Question 17

“False vocal folds”, vestibular folds; thick folds of mucous membrane above the true vocal folds not used in normal phonation

Answer 17

Ventricular folds
