A

thyropharyngeus: CN XI via pharyngeal branch of CN X
cricopharyngeus: pharygeal branch and eSLN and RLN of CN X

33
Q

What is the cricopharyngeus muscle?

A

one of two muscles part of the inferior pharyngeal constrictor muscle that keeps the esophagus closed at the upper esophageal sphincter

34
Q

What is the thyropharyngeus muscle?

A

one of two muscles part of the inferior pharyngeal constrictor muscle that constricts the pharynx

35
Q

What muscles elevate the pharynx?

A

salpingopharyngeus muscle, stylopharyngeus muscle, and palatopharyngeus muscle

36
Q

Which pharyngeal muscles elevate the larynx and pharynx?

A

stylopharyngeus muscle and palatopharyngeus muscle

37
Q

What is the function of the salpingopharyngeus muscle?

A

elevates the pharynx and shortens it; it keeps the eustachian tube closed

37
Q

What is the function of the palatopharyngeus muscle?

A

elevates the pharynx and larynx; directs bolus to the pharynx during swallowing

37
Q

What is the function of the stylopharyngeus muscle?

A

elevates the larynx and pharynx

38
Q

Why is swallowing important?

A

It allows for the upper aerodigestive tract to change transiently which allows for support for feeding and protection of the respiratory systems.

39
Q

What are features of the quadrangular membrane?

A

Its inferior free edges make up the ventricular ligaments; its superior portion forms the aryepiglottic folds; it connects the lateral portion of the epiglottis to the apex and medial portion of the arytenoids

40
Q

What are features of conus elasticus?

A

It is made up of the cricothyroid ligament and cricothyroid membrane; it connects the cricoid arch to the upper limits of the VFs.

41
Q

What are common neurological conditions that could impact voice?

A

acquired brain injury (e.g., stroke and TBI); Laryngeal dystonia; Parkinson’s disease; vocal fold paralysis; essential tremor

42
Q

What is the vestibule?

A

one of two cavities in the larynx that is between the entryway of the larynx (aditus laryngis) and the ventricular or vestibular vocal folds. It is wide at the entryway and narrow at the ventricular vocal folds

43
Q

What is the ventricle?

A

vertical space between the true vocal folds and false vocal folds; it has an extended portion that has a saccule which produces glands that moisten the VFs.

44

true VFs, false VFs, arytenoid cartilage to the epiglottic base (laryngeal vestibule closure), and epiglottic deflection

48
Q

What is epiglottic deflection?

A

phase 5 of the pharyngeal phase of swallowing in which the epiglottis becomes horizontal, thereby moving the bolus out of the valleculae. Then the epiglottis move from its horizontal position and directs the bolus laterally to the pyriform sinuses and away from the laryngeal vestibule.

49
Q

A

UMNs in the hypothalamus send its axons to the superior salivary gland in the brainstem —-> axons there travel through the internal auditory meatures —– axons travel through the foramen lacerum and innerve the nasal glands, lacrimal glands, and soft/hard palate glands. Axons also travel through the petrotympanic fissure and innerve the sublingual and submandibular glands

50
Q

What does pepsin do?

A

It stops the stomach from producing acid by acting as a proton pump inhibitor

53
Q

What is the pathway of the general sensory branch of CN VII?

sensory cortex — > nuclei in spinal tract —- > IAM —- > stylomastoid foramen — > skim around outer ear and parotid plexus

54
Q

What is the pathway of the general sensory branch of CN IX?
