Larynx- Controlling Airways & Noise Flashcards
what are the extrinsic muscles of the larynx
- thyrohyoid muscle
- cricothyroid muscle
- sternothyroid muscle
- sternohyoid muscle
- sternocephalic muscle
which muscles move the larynx caudally
- thyrohyoid m
- sternohyoid m
- sternothyroid m
which muscles move the pharynx, tongue and hyoid apparatus rostrally
- geniohyoid muscle
- hypoglossus muscle
what are the muscles shown
what are the muscles of the pharynx, tongue and hyoid apparatus innervated by
hypoglossal nerve (XII)
what are the ventral muscles of the neck innervated by
ventral branch of cervical spinal nerve and accessory nerve (XI)
what is the function of the larynx
controls the amount of air entering lower respiratory passageways and closes the larynx during swallowing
does this by altering the position of the vocal processes (arytenoid) and folds
what are the instrinsic muscles of the larynx
- dorsal cricoarytenoid m
- transverse arytenoid m
- cricothyroid m
- lateral cricoarytenoid m
- thyroarytenoid m
what is the function of dorsal cricoarytenoid m and what nerve innervates it
abductor
opens the glottis
innervated by caudal recurrent laryngeal nerve (branch of vagus nerve X)
what is the function of transverse arytenoid muscle and what innervates it
adductor –> closes the glottis, pulls arytenoid cartilages together
innervated by caudal (recurrent) laryngeal nerve (branch of vagus)
what is the function of the lateral cricoarytenoid muscle and what does it innervate
adducts the vocal process of the arytenoid cartilages –> closes the glottis
innervated by caudal (recurent) laryngeal nerve
what is the function of thyroarytenoid muscle
adjust tension in vocal folds (fine adjustment)
innervated by caudal (recurrent) laryngeal nerve
what does the thyroarytenoid muscle split into in the dog and horse
splits into ventricularis and vocal muscle
what does the lateral ventricle in the dog responsible for
barking
what are the intrinsic muscles shown
what intrinsic muscles are shown
red: dorsal cricoarytenoid m
blue: transverse arytenoid m
what intrinsic muscle is this
cricothyroid m
what intrinsic muscle is shown
lateral cricoarytenoid m
lateral wall of the thyroid cartilage has been removed to reveal the lateral cricoarytenoid musles
what intrinsic muscle is shown
thyroarytenoid mm
lateral wall thyroid cartilage has been removed to reveal the thyroarytenoid muscle (splits in horses, dogs and pigs)
