A

Hyoglossus

18
Q

    “three hyoids, one thyroid”
19
Q

Origin/insertion/innervation/action of omohyoid?

A
  • Scapula
  • Hyoid
  • C1-C3
  • Depresses hyoid, pulls larynx down
20
Q

3 parts of omohyoid?

A
  1. Inferior belly (o: scapula, i: tendon)
  2. Superior belly (o: tendon, i: hyoid)
  3. Intermediate tendon
21
Q

Origin/insertion/innervation/action of sternohyoid?

A
  • Manubrium (sternum) + sternoclavicular joint
  • Hyoid
  • C1-C3
  • Depresses hyoid, pulls larynx down
22
Q

Origin/insertion/innervation/action of sternothyroid?

A
  • Manubrium (sternum)
  • Thyroid cartilage
  • C2-C3
  • Depresses hyoid, pulls larynx down
23
Q

Origin/insertion/innervation/action of thyrohyoid?

A
  • Thyroid cartilage
  • Hyoid
  • C1
  • Depresses and fixes hyoid and larynx + raises larynx during swallowing
24
Q

How many extrinsic larynx muscles total?

A

9

25
Q

How many intrinsic larynx muscles total?

A

8

26
Q

Why are there more adductors than abductors? (2)

A
  1. Airway protection
  2. System is open at rest
27
Q

2 parts of thyroarytenoid muscle + origin/insertion/action of each?

A
  1. Thyromuscularis: o = anterior commissure of thyroid cartilage, i = muscular process of arytenoids, action = VF adduction
  2. Thyrovocalis: o = anterior commissure of thyroid cartilage, i = vocal process of arytenoids, action = lowers pitch by making VFs less tense (thicker) when NOT counteracted by other muscles / raises pitch by making VFs more tense if counteracted by other muscles
28
Q

Origin/insertion/action of cricothyroid?

A
  • Cricoid
  • Thyroid lamina
  • Tensor: rotates thyroid cartilage, lengthens VFs (+tension)
  • Changes pitch (big changes)
29
Q

T or F: the thyrovocalis and cricothyroid work opposite of each other

A

true

30
Q

Origin/insertion/action of the 2 parts of the interarytenoid muscle?

A
  1. Oblique fibres: o = arytenoid base, i = opposite arytenoid apex
  2. Transverse fibres: o = vertical length of arytenoid, i = vertical length of opposite arytenoid

Action: adductors (of arytenoids + VFs)

31
Q

Are the oblique and transverse fibers paired or unpaired?

A
  • Oblique = paired
  • Transverse = unpaired
32
Q

Origin/insertion/action of lateral cricoarytenoid (LCA)?

A
  • Cricoid cartilage
  • Muscular process of arytenoid cartilage
  • Adductor (pulls muscular process anterolaterally + vocal process comes together, linking VFs)
33
Q

Where is the LCA muscle located?

A

Arch of cricoid cartilage

34
Q

Origin/insertion/action of posterior cricoarytenoid (PCA)?

A
  • Cricoid lamina (posterior)
  • Muscular process of arytenoid cartilage
  • ONLY VF ABDUCTOR (moves vocal process laterally)
35
Q

Origin/insertion/action of thyroepiglottic muscle?

A
  • Thyroid cartilage
  • Epiglottis + aryepiglottic fold
  • Widens laryngeal vestibule (no effect on VFs)
36
Q

Origin/insertion/action of aryepiglottic muscle?

A
  • Arytenoid apex
  • Lateral border of epiglottis/aryepliglottic fold
  • Pulls epiglottis down to close airway
37

  • Inferior
  • Abducted (for breathing)
38
Q

  2. Superficial lamina propria (jelly)
  3. Intermediate lamina propria
  4. Deep lamina propria
