laryng 2 Flashcards
Which pharyngeal arches do the laryngeal cartilages develop from?
4, 6
The laryngotracheal groove/inlet develops the ______ which grow towards the ______ (hypopharyngeal eminence) and form the T-shaped ______.
- Arytenoid swellings
- Tongue
- Laryngeal inlet
Which part of the hypopharyngeal eminence does the epiglottis develop from? Which arch is associated?
- Caudal part
- Arch 4
Which nerve is PA4 innervated by? Which muscles are associated?
- CN X (superior laryngeal branch of vagus nerve)
- Cricothyroid
Which nerve is PA6 innervated by? Which muscles are associated?
- CN X (recurrent laryngeal branch of vagus nerve)
- Intrinsic laryngeal muscles
What are the 2 categories of extrinsic larynx muscles?
- Elevators
- Depressors
What are the 4 categories of intrinsic larynx muscles?
- Adductors
- Abductors
- Pitch/tensor
- Epiglottis movers
What is the clinical importance of laryngeal elevation?
Decreases risk of aspiration
What are the 5 laryngeal elevators?
- Digastric (anterior and posterior belly)
- Stylohyoid
- Mylohyoid
- Geniohyoid
- Hyoglossus
Origin/insertion/innervation/action of anterior and posterior belly?
- Anterior: mandible / hyoid tendon / CN V (trigeminal)
- Posterior: mastoid / hyoid tendon / CN VII (facial)
- Action: pulls hyoid up to help swallow and open mouth
Origin/insertion/innervation/action of stylohyoid?
- Styloid process
- Hyoid bone
- CN VII (facial)
- Action: elevates hyoid
Origin/insertion/innervation/action of mylohyoid (fan)?
- Mandible
- Hyoid
- CN V (trigeminal)
- Opens jaw, elevates hyoid
Where do the two fans of the mylohyoid meet?
Median fibrous raphe
Origin/insertion/innervation/action of geniohyoid?
- Mandible
- Hyoid
- CN XII (hypoglossal)
- Opens jaw, elevates hyoid
What is the “sandwich” that makes the jaw?
- Anterior belly
- Mylohyoid (fan)
- Geniohyoid (twins)
- Genioglossus
- Tongue
(bottom to top)
Origin/insertion/innervation/action of hyoglossus?
- Hyoid
- Tongue
- CN XII (hypoglossal)
- Depresses tongue or elevates hyoid
