Lesson 5 Flashcards
what are the vital functions of the phonatory system?
- protecting the lungs
- assisting in performance of physically demanding tasks
whats two other names for the phonatory system?
laryngeal and voicing
what makes up the larynx
- cricoid
- arytenoid
- thyroid
- epiglottis
- corniculates and cuneiforms
- hyoid bone
- laryngeal ligaments and membranes
what parts on the larynx are made of hyaline cartilage?
- cricoid
- arytenoids
- thyroid
- corniculates and cuneiforms
what part of the larynx is made of elastic cartilage?
epiglottis
- right on top of the trachea
- specialized trachea ring
cricoid
how do you name a processes?
by what they connect to
- has the muscular process
- has the vocalic process
- has an apex
- on each side of the cricoid
- asymmetrical
arytenoids
- largest cartilage in the larynx
- symmetrical
- can pivot on lower cornua
- the lower cornua attaches to cricoid
thyroid
- leaf/heart shaped
- attached with a ligament to the thyroid
- vital for swallowing
- irrelevant for speech and breathing
epiglottis
courses between the inside of the thyroid angle and the vocalic processes of the arytenoid cartilages
part of the vocal folds
vocal ligament
muscles connecting parts of the larynx to eachother
intrinsic muscles
muscles connecting the larynx to structures outside the larynx
extrinsic muscles
these muscles abduct and adduct the vocal folds and affect vocal fold tension
intrinsic laryngeal muscles
- vocalis
- external or lateral thyroarytenoid
- cricothyroid
- posterior cricoarytenoid (PCA)
- lateral cricoarytenoid (LCA)
- transverse aryetnoid
- oblique arytenoid
intrinsic laryngeal muscles
what is the origin of the internal thyroarytenoid (vocalis)?
angle of thyroid
what is the insertion of the internal thyroarytenoid (vocalis)?
vocal process of arytenoid
what is the action of the internal thyroarytenoid (vocalis)?
regulate contraction of VFs; tensor of folds
what is the origin of the external thyroarytenoid?
angle of thyroid
what is the insertion of the external thyroarytenoid ?
muscular process of arytenoid
what is the action of the external thyroarytenoid?
pull arytenoids forward and rotates them
-adductor
what is the origin of the cricothyroid muscle?
anterolateral aspect of arch of cricoid
what is the insertion of the cricothyroid muscle?
inferior cornu and caudal margin of thyroid
what is the action of the cricothyroid?
pull thyroid forward and elevate arch of cricoid; regulates vocal pitch by tensing and lengthening VFs
what is the origin of the PCA?
posterior surface of cricoid
what is the insertion of the PCA?
muscular process of arytenoid
what is the action of the PCA?
open and tense VFs; only abductors in larynx
what is the origin of the LCA?
superior border of arch of cricoid
what is the insertion of the LCA?
muscular process of arytenoid
what is the action of the LCA?
close and tense the VFs; adductors; major antagonists of posterior cricoarytenoid; add medical compression to VFs
what is the origin of the transverse arytenoid muscles?
posterior edge of arytenoids
what is the insertion of the transverse arytenoid muscles?
same region on contralateral member
what is the action of the transverse arytenoid muscles?
approximate arytenoids; adductors
what is the origin of the oblique arytenoid muscles?
posterior surface and lateral margin of arytenoid
what is the insertion of the oblique arytenoid muscles?
apex of contralateral member
what is the action of the oblique arytenoid muscles?
draw apices of arytenoids together; adductor
- thyrohyoid
- sternothyroid
- sternohyoid
- omohyoid
- anterior and posterior bellies of the digastric
- stylohyoid
- mylohyoid
- geniohyoid
extrinsic laryngeal muscles
- thyrohyoid
- sternothyroid
- sternohyoid
- omohyoid
infrahyoid set
- anterior and posterior bellies of the digastric
- stylohyoid
- mylohyoid
- geniohyoid
suprahyoid set
what do the suprahyoid muscles do?
- effect pitch
- effect swallowing
- capable of elevating the larynx
what do the infrahyoid muscles do?
- strap muscles
- capable of pulling down and anchoring the larynx
control the shape of the glottis and vibratory behavior of the vocal folds
intrinsic
support and control position of larynx; elevate or depress the larynx
extrinsic
