Superior laryngeal nerve

17
Q

What is a superior continuation of the posterior longitudinal ligament? What is superior to this?

A

Tectorial membrane

The foramen magnum

18

What are the lowest set of inferior constrictor fibers that attach horizontally to the cricoid cartilage?

A

Inferior pharyngeal constrictor

Cricopharyngeus

19
Q

Which constrictor has anterior attachments to the greater and lesser horns of the hyoid bone and the stylohyoid ligament?

A

Middle pharyngeal- the upper fibers of the inferior constrictor overlay the lower portion of the middle constrictor

20
Q

What is a pear-shaped recess, bounded by the larynx (medially), thyroid cartilage (laterally) and the inferior constrictor (posteriorly)?

A

Piriform recess- REMEMBER- medial is the larynx, lateral is the thyroid cartilage, and posterior is the inferior constrictor

24
Q

What nerve is found posterolateral to the stylopharyngeus?

A

25
Q

What is the main dividing line between the oral cavity and the oropharynx, from soft palate to the tongue?

A

Palatoglossal fold

26
Q

What constrictor has a superior attachment to the pharyngeal tubercle and anterior attachment to the pterygomandibular raphe?

Possible test question??

A

Superior pharyngeal constrictor- this is covered posteriorly by both he middle and inferior constrictor muscles

27
