Q

Thyroarytenoid

What parts?

Attachments

Movement

Function

A

Thyrovocalis attachments: most medial muscle portion of true VF, runs from thyroid cartilage to vocal process of arytenoid

Thyromuscularis attachments: lateral to the thyrovocalis

Movement:

1) shortens the VFs (if less/no CT contraction) by drawing arytenoids toward A thyroid; loosens the VF cover and increase the mass per unit length
2) increased tension of VF when balanced by CT contraction

Function: Shorten VFs (if no CT contraction), increase tension VFs (with CT contraction)

17
Q

Extrinsic muscles of the larynx

Suprahyoids

A
  • Many are important for swallowing
  • Elevates larynx and does an anterior pull and rocking of larynx which may elevate pitch

Muscles:

  • digastrics (A [CN V] and P [CN VIII]
  • stylohyoid [CN VIII]
  • mylohyoid [CN V]
  • geniohyoid [CN XII]
  • etc
18
Q

Infrahyoids

What is the purpose and what are some of the main ones

A

laryngeal depressors

  • sternohyid [ansa cervicalis]
  • omohyoid [ansa cerv]
  • sternothyroid [C1-2]
  • thyrohyoid [C1]
19

20
Q

What muscles ADDuct the VFs?

A

LCA

Transverse arytenoids (IA)

21
Q

What muscles tense/elongate the VFs

A

CT (pars recta: e, pars oblqiue: t/e)

Thyroarytenoid if the CT is contracted as well

22
Q

What muscles shorten the VFs

A

Thyroartenoid (if less/no CT contraction)-loosens the VF cover and increases mass per unit length

23
Q

Innervation

PNS

Intrinsic laryngeal muscles controlled by which nerve?

What are its branches?

A

CN X

Branches: superior laryngeal nerve and recurrent laryngeal nerve

24
Q

Is the superior laryngeal nerve branch of CN X motory, sensory, or both?

What does it innvervate?

A

Both

Motor: to cricothyroid

Sensory: all tissue above true VF

25
Q

Is the recurrent laryngeal nerve branch of CN X motory, sensory, or both?

What does it innvervate?

A

Both

Motor: all other intrinsic muscles except CT

Sebesory: tissue from the true VF into trachea

26
Q

What is the course of the recurrent laryngeal nerve branches of CN X?

A

Left RLN: course down the neck, underneath the aorta, and ascends back up to the larynx (i.e., it recurs inthe neck)

Right RLN: courses down neck, underneath subclavian artery, and ascends back up to larynx

27
Q

What is the membranous glottis vs the cartilagenous glottis

A

Membranous glottis:

  • 3/5 length of glottis from anterior commisure to tip of vocal process of arytenoid
  • portion involves in VF vibration

Cartilagenous glottis:

  • P 2/5 of glottis
  • not part of VF vibration

Q

Innervation:

PNS

Instrinsic muscles controlled by which nerve?

What are the 2 branches and what do they innervate?

A

CN X Vagus

  1. Superior laryngeal nerve
    • Motor: to CT
    • Sensory: all tissue above true VFs
  2. Recurrent laryngeal nerve
    • Motor: all intrinsic muscles except CT
    • Sensory: all tissue below true VFs to trachea
    1. Left: goes under aorta and back up to larynx
    2. Right: goes under subclavian artery and back up to larynx
36
Q

How do you start phonation?

A
  1. Get air in:
    • use diaphragm (prime) and intercostals to create larger thoracic space (may use accessory muscles if more air is needed), decrease in air pressure relative to outside of body, air rushes in to equalize pressure)
  2. Get air out
    • Relaxation forces (gravity, elastic recoil, torque) + muscular checking of relaxation forces so we don’t loose too much air at once. May have to actively engage expiratory muscles to push thoracic cavity past its normal resting place to sustain the sound
  3. Obstruct airflow
    • Use LCA, CT, and TA to bring VFs together, subglottal air pressure builds until enough force is created to push VFs apart
37
Q

What makes up the upper respiratory tract? The lower respiratory tract?

A
  • URT: nasal cavity, oral cavity, pharynx, larynx
  • LRT: trachea, lungs
