LARYNGOPHARYNX
Parts of Larynx
Boney skeleton
9 cartilages
Voice box
LARYNX CARTILAGES
Thyroid(1)–biggest part, adams apple
Epiglottis(1)–tear shaped, opens/closes, attach to thyroid
Arytenoids(2)–small, horn shaped
Corniculate(2)–small, horned shaped
Cuneiform(2)
Cricoid(1)–ring around larynx, bigger in back
LARYNX INNER STRUCTURES
•Vestibular folds (false vocal cords) •
True vocal cords–abduct(open)/adduct(closed)
Glottis–sound production
Aryepiglottic folds–contain cuneiform
ESOPHAGUS
between trachea and anterior longitudinal ligament
expands/contracts to swallow
TRACHEA
C-shaped cartilages bifurcates at carina
GLANDS OF THE NECK
Salivary
Thyroid
Parathyroid
Glands of Salivary
a. Parotid–biggest gland, on side of mandible by ear
b. Submandibular–under mandible
c. Sublingual–under tongue
THYROID
Endocrine gland @level of cricoid cartilage
excretes hormones for growth
2 of them
PARATHYROID
located on the posterior surface of the thyroid
4 of them
LYMPH NODES
One third of the body’s total lymph system
behind sternocleidomastoid muscle, lower border of jaw up to ears
filter bad pathogens
MUSCLES OF PHARYNGEAL
a. Constrictor muscles–swallowing
b. Longitudinal (internal) muscles–elevate pharynx and larynx
c. Tongue (extrinsic) muscles
LARYNGEAL(muscle of neck)
Control position and tension of vocal folds and divided into 2 groups:
- acting on false vocal cords,
- acting on true vocal
Constrictor muscles
constrict pharynx and induce peristaltic waves during swallowing.
