Midterm II: Mix of Relevant Old Cards Flashcards
So I just slapped this deck together from old cards…
I briefly went over them and deleted the most useless ones… some are probably still not relevant to this midterm… delete whatever you want.
OK
3, 4
3: Median Thyrohyoidal Ligament
4: Lateral Thyrohyoidal Ligament
5
a & b
5: Superior Laryngeal Nerve
a: Internal Branch (laryngeal mucosa above vestibular fold)
b: External Branch (-> cricothyroid muscle)
6
origin and insertion
Cricothyroid Muscle
Origin: anterior surface of the arch of the cricoid
Insertion: either on the wing of the thyroid on inferior horn of the thyroid
8
Cricoid Cartilage
Ring shaped, with the lamina laying posteriorly, on the upper edge of lamina 2 articular surfaces for Arytenoid cartilage. On the lateral surface articular surface for the inferior horn of thyroid cartilage.
Hyaline
5c
Superior Laryngeal Artery
From: superior thyroid artery, (of external carotid artery)
Enters the larynx through the thyrohyoid membrane
Supplies muscles and mucous membranes in the superior portion of the larynx
10
Superior Thyroidal Artery
From the external carotid artery just below the level of the greater horn of the hyoid bone and ends in the thyroid gland.
Distributes to the muscles and to the thyroid gland
Other branches:
- Infrahyoid,
- Superior Laryngeal,
- Sternocleidomastoidal
- Cricothyroid.

24 and 25?
24: Cuneiform Cartilage/Tubercle (of Wrisberg)
25: Corniculate Cartilage/Tubercle (of Santorini)
Both are cartilages enveloped by the Ary-Epiglottic Fold that appear as tubercles in the mucosa
8, function?
Posterior Cricoarytenoid Muscle
Widens the Rima glottidis (anterior intercartilaginous part). It is the antagonist for lateral cricoarytenoid, and the only muscle that opens.
What are the intrinsic muscles of larynx, and what nerve innervates them?
Muscles:
- Posterior cricoarytenoid
- Lateral cricoarytenoid
- Inter-arytenoid Muscles (Transverse and Oblique Fibers)
- Thyroarytenoid
- Vocalis
- Thyroepiglottic
- Aryepiglottic
*Cricothyroid is technically an external laryngeal muscle but is often lumped with intrinsic muscles
All muscles innervated by Inferior Laryngeal Nerve (from Recurrent/Vagus X) except Cricothyroid (Superior Laryngeal, External Branch, Vagus X)
7, function?
Transverse Arytenoid Fibers (Inter-Arytenoid Muscle)
Narrows Posterior Intercartilaginous Part of Rima Glottidis
Red shaded-area
Function?
Oblique Fibers (Inter-Arytenoid Muscle)
(the fibers crossing each other between the posterior surfaces of the 2 Arytenoid cartilages)
Narrows the posterior intercartilaginous part of Rima Glottidis
22
Function?
Cricothyroid Muscle
Tenses the vocal folds by tilting the thyroid cartilage via the Cricothyroid joint. Controls the rough tension of the voice
Unlike the other muscles, innervated by Superior Laryngeal Nerve
21
Thyrohyoid Muscle
Depresses hyoid/elevates larynx
An extrinsic muscle of larynx
13 (muscle)
Function?
Lateral Cricoartytenoid Muscle
Narrows anterior interligamental part of Rima Glottidis
19
Vocal Ligament (True Vocal Cord)
5 and 6
Function?
5: Thyroarytenoid Muscle
6: Vocalis Muscle
(Not visible in most dissections)
Both of them constrict the Rima glottidis, which shortens and relaxes the vocal folds
26
Function?
Aryepiglottic Muscle
Lowers the epiglottis, therefore assists in narrowing the entrance to larynx

- Superior: Vocal Ligament (True Vocal Cord) - free edge
- Lateral: ~oblique line following the superior border of the cricoid cartilage (which is taller in the posterior lamina than its anterior arch)

-
Hyoglossus: depresses and retracts tongue backwards
- Origin: greater horn of hyoid + body of hyoid

Palatoglossus: Elevates posterior part of tongue
- Origin: palatine aponeurosis (soft palate)
- Insertion: side of tongue
What are the different parts of the tongue? (5 things, not including division between anterior 2/3 vs posterior 1/3)
- Body: most of the tongue
- Apex: the tip, important in phonetics
- Root: base, not visible when tongue is intact
- Dorsum (back): the surface of the tongue that shows if you stick your tongue out
- Inferior surface: has the frenulum, deep ligual vein and fimbriated fold
What is the general sensory innervation of the tongue?
What differs between the anterior 2/3 and posterior 1/3?
General (not taste) Sensory innervation:
- Anterior 2/3: Lingual nerve, branch of mandibular nerve (CN-V3)
- Posterior 1/3: Glossopharyngeal nerve (CN-IX)

What main artery supplies blood to the tongue (with 3 branches discussed in another card)
What artery does it come from?
What 2 triangles does it pass through on its way to the tongue?
The Lingual Artery perfuses the tongue
(#12 in image below)
It is the 2nd branch of the External Carotid Artery
Passes through Pirogoff and Beclard Triangles
What are the 3 main branches of the Lingual Artery?
To which areas do they supply blood?
- Dorsal lingual arteries: supplies posterior part and palatine tonsils
- Deep lingual artery: supplies the anterior part, the anastomosis between the right and the left end-branch of the deep lingual artery is called the Beclard or Ranine anastomosis
- Sublingual artery: supplies floor of mouth and sublingual glands
What course do the veins of the tongue take?
All veins run parallel to the arteries and drain into Internal Jugular Vein
The apical veins of the tongue are seen very well on both sides of the frenulum on the inferior surface of the tongue, forming the fimbriated folds
*Thin mucosa and large vasculature allow for quick drug absorption via sublingual route
Yellow and Green Arrows
Yellow: Lingual Frenulum: Midline of inferior tongue. Formed by mucus membrane, immediately lateral to it are depressions called Lingual Valleculae

Sublingual Caruncula, which is the opening of Submandibular Gland
Depressions on either side of the frenulum are the Lingual Valleculae
Arrows and yellow-dotted circles
Arrows: Wharton’s (or Submandibular) Duct (opens into mouth at the Sublingual Caruncle)
Yellow-dotted circles: Sublingual Gland
