Innervation CN XII - 12th - Hypoglossal
Sternothyroid
Origin: sternum and first costal cartilage
Attachment: Thyroid
Function: DEPRESS - depresses thyroid cartilage
Innervation: CN XII - 12th Hypoglossal
Omohyoid
Origin: superior margin of scapula
Attachment: inferior border of hyoid bone
Function: DEPRESS - Depresses and retracts hyoid
Innervation: CN XII - 12th - Hypoglossal
Vocal fold vibration
Rapidly opening and closing to produce puffs (oscillating air molecules) that result in a sound pressure wave that travels up the vocal tract
Phonation is…
The process of converting aerodynamic energy created by the lungs into acoustic energy in the form of sound waves
Structural framework of the larynx
Extends from root of the tongue to
Top of trachea in the anterior of the
Neck or throat at
The level of cervical vertebrae 4, 5 , 6
3 paired cartilages of larynx
Arytenoids
Corniculate
Cuneiforms
3 unpaired cartilages of the larynx
Cricoid
Thyroid
Epiglottis
Hyoid bone
In the anterior wall of the hypopharynx
Does not articulate with any bones
Supports the larynx via the thyrohyoid membrane
Fibroelastic sheets of larynx - Extrinsic
Attached to hyoid superiorly
Attached to trachea inferiority
Membranes - extrinsic
Sheetlike
Thyrohyoid
Cricothyroid
Cricotracheal
Ligaments - extrinsic
Rope like
Hyoepiglottic
Thyroepiglottic
Cricotracheal
Quadrangular membranes - Intrinsic
Extends from arytenoids ad inner thyroid cartilage to epiglottis
Forms the ventricular folds
Conus elasticus - intrinsic
Lateral portion of the cricothyroid ligament
Uppermost border makes up the vocal ligament
Laryngeal cavities
See page 4 of lecture notes
3 functions of the larynx
Protection
Stabilization
Phonation
Intrinsic muscle responsibility
Vocal folds movement and fine motor control related to the features of phonation
