Q

Waldeye’s ring

A

ring of lymph tissue around the pharynx formed by tonsils

40
Q

Vascular supply to the pharynx

A

network of arteries- branches of facial, maxillary, laryngeal and lingual arteries. Drains into the IJV

41
Q

Lymph drainage of the pharynx

A

retropharyngeal and then deep cervical nodes

42
Q

Nervous supply of the pharynx

extrinsic muscle, depresses the whole larynx (includes thyrohyoid)

46
Q

Intrinsic muscles of the larynx

A

move parts of the larynx

47
Q

Cricothyroid muscles

A

Intrinsic muscles. Lengthen and tense the vocal cords. External branch of superior laryngeal nerve.

48
Q

Posterior cricoarytenoids

A

the ONLY ABDUCTORS of the vocal cords. Vagus/RLN

49
Q

Lateral cricoarytenoids

A

adduct and internally rotate. Vagus/RLN

50
Q

Thyroarytenoids

A

sphincter of vestibule, narrow the inlet and shorten the voca lcords- lower the voice

51
Q

Oblique arytenoids

A

narrow the inlet, adducting vocal cords. Vagus/RLN

52
Q

Transverse arytenoids
