hyoid, larynx and swallowing Flashcards
what does the hyoid apparatus articulate with dorsally
petrous temporal bone caudal to tympanic bulla
what does the hyoid apparatus do
suspends the tongue and larynx from the base of the skull
what does the hyoid apparatus articulate with ventrally
the larynx
what are the small paired bones that the hyoid apparatus consist of and what are they linked ventrally by
stylohyoid, epihyoid and keratohyoid linked by
unpaired body of the hyoid = basihyoid linked ventrally by the paired thyrohyoids which attach to the thyroid cartilage of the larynx
muscles of the hyoid apparatus
sternohyoideous
thyrohyoideus
mylohyiodeous
geniohyoideous
function of sternohyoideous and thyrohtoideus
draws hyoid caudally
innervation of the sternohyoideous and thyrohyoideus
cervical nerves
function of the mylohyoideus and the geniohyoideus
draws hyoid rostrally
innervation of the mylohyoideus
trigeminal
innervation of the geniohyoideus
hypoglossal
what is the larynx
cartilaginous muscular tube suspended from the skull by hyoid apparatus
primary role of the larynx
protect lower respiratory tract
secondary role of the larynx
phonation = voice production
what are the 3 components of the airway
vestibule
the glottis
ingraglottic cavity
what is the entrance to the vestibule called
laryngeal aditus
