laryngeal cartilages
superior, middle, and inferior pharyngeal constrictor CN10action?
constrict pharynx to help move a bolus of food (peristalsis)
MOTOR innervation
CN10 via pharyngeal plexus
sensory innervation
CN9 glossopharyngeal
salipinopharyngeus action
elevates pharynx, pharyngeal plexus
palatopharyngeus action
elevates pharynx, closes nasopharynx, pharyngeal plexus, PREVENTS regurgitation
salipinopharyngeus origin and insertion
originates on torus tubarias bulge next to auditory tube and inserts along superior pharyngeal constrictor
stylopharyngeus origin and insertion
originates on styloid process and inserts between superior and middle pharyngeal constrictors
stylopharyngeus innervation
