Laryngeal Anatomy Flashcards
Epiglottis
-
Hyoid bone
-
Aryepiglottic folds
-
False Vocal Folds (Ventricular or Vestibular Folds)
-
Laryngeal Ventricle (Ventricle of Morgani)
-
Trachea
-
Thyroid cartilage
-
Cricoid cartilage
-
Arytenoid cartilages
-
How do the Laryngeal cartilages move?
- Tilting of the cricoid and thyroid cartilages
2. Rocking, Gliding (sliding) and Rotation of the Arytenoid cartilage
Glottis
Cartilaginous versus Membranous Glottis
Vocal Ligament
Thyroarytenoid muscle (incl. the Vocalis muscle)
Insertion points of the thyroarytenoid muscles
Adduction versus Abduction of the vocal folds
Know how the Extrinsic Laryngeal muscles connect:-
The Thyroid and Cricoid cartilages to the Hyoid bone and to the Clavicle and Sternum
The hyoid bone to the jaw, tongue and skull
