- inf laryngeal a.< inferior thyroid a. < subclavian
7
Q

- cuneiform cartilage
10
Q
extrinsic membranes of larynx?
A
- thyrohyoid membrane (median and lat thyrohyoid lig)
- cricothyroid lig
- cricotracheal lig
- hyo-epiglottic lig
11
Q
intrinsic membranes of larynx?
A
- quadrangular lig ( aryepiglottic fold–> arythenoid + corniculate cartilages. Inf free edge form vertibular lig.
- cricothyroid membrane:
- ## from arch and lamina of cricoid cartilage–> arythenoid cartilage. sup edge forms vocal lig.

cricoarythenoid joint?
A
- pivot
- vertical axis
- b/w arytheoid articular srfc on cricoid and cricoid articular srfc on arythenoid
- shift and rotation, fundamental for abduction and adduction of vocal lig.
15
Q
cricothyroid muscle origin, insertion and function?
A
- from cricoid cartilage (ventral) –> caudal margin of thyroid cartilage
- thightening the vocal folds
