31
Q

What does the left recurrent laryngeal branch of the Vagas nerve (X) do?

A

Sends motor signals controlling movement of instrinstic laryngeal muscles (VF adduction, false VF movement etc)

32
Q

What two nerves are responsible to delivering motor signals to upper and middle pharynx?

A

Glossopharyngeal (IX) and Vagas (X)

33
Q

Important function of the Vagas signals to intrinstic laryngeal muscles?
