lecture 25 Flashcards
Intrinsic laryngeal muscles
° origin & insertion on laryngeal cartilages
- Fine adjustments to the vocal mechanism
- opening, closing, tensing,lengthening, relaxing the vocal folds
-opening and closing is achieved by the coordinated effort of many of the intrinsic muscles of larynx
- changing pitch is reflected by change in mass or tension
Changing pitch is reflected by what
Change in mass or tension of intmusic laryngeal muscles
What are the intrinsic laryngeal muscles
Lateral cricoarytenoïd muscle, transverse arytenoid muscle, oblique arytenoid muscle, posterior cricoarytenoid muscle, cricothyroid muscle, plus recta, pars oblique
Lateral cricoarytenoid muscle attaches to what
Cricoid and muscular process of arytenoid
Lateral cricoavytenoid muscle does what
Rocks arytenoid inward and downward
Lateral cricoarytenoid muscle does what to vocal folds
adduction and lengthening
Lateral cricoarytenoid innervated by what
10 vagus nerve
transverse arytenoid muscle is where
runs between the two arytenoid cartilages on posterior surface
transverse arytenoid muscle does what
- pulls two arytenoids closer together
- approximates vocal folds
- increased medial compression which is increased force of adduction
- vital element in vocal intensity change
which is a vital element in vocal intensity change
transverse arytenoid muscle
transverse arytenoid muscle is innervated by what
recurrent laryngeal nerve of vagus
which pulls two arytenoids closer together
transverse arytenoid muscle
oblique arytenoid muscles originate where
originate at posterior base of muscular process and course obliquely up to apex of opposite arytenoid
what do oblique arytenoid muscles do
- pull apex medially
- promotes adduction
- enforces medial compression
- rocks arytenoid and vocal folds down and in
- aids in pulling the epiglottis to cover opening to larynx
oblique arytenoid muscles innervated by what
recurrent laryngeal nerve of vagus
oblique arytenoid muscles: paired? what shape?
paired; form x
posterior cricoarytenoid muscle originates and inserts where
originates from posterior cricoid lamina & projects up to insert into the posterior aspect of the muscular process of arytenoid cartilage
what does posterior cricoarytenoid muscle do
- sole abductor of vocal folds
- pulls muscular process posteriorly
- rocks arytenoid cartilage
- abducts vocal folds
cricothyroid muscle is composed of what
two heads: pars recta, pars oblique
pars recta originates where
originates on anterior surface of cricoid cartilage and courses up to lower surface of thyroid lamina
pars oblique arises from where
arises from lateral cricoid cartilage to point of juncture between the thyroid laminae and inferior horns
what do pars recta and pars oblique of cricothyroid muscle do
- both tense the vocal folds
- together they are the major contributors for pitch change
what is cricothyroid innervated by
superior laryngeal nerve of vagus
what does pars recta do
- rocks thyroid cartilage downward
- brings thyroid and cricoid closer together in front
- makes posterior cricoid more distant from thyroid
- vocal folds are stretched
