16
Q

LARYNX

A

Behind the infrahyoid muscles and fasciae

Connected to hyoid bone by Thyrohyoid membrane

17
Q

Larynx Topographical relationships

A

Anterior to the pharynx
Between the neurovascular bundle of the neck
Surface projection-Below the hyoid bone

18
Q

CARTILAGES of Larynx

A

Hyaline-Thyroid Cricoid Most of arytenoids

Elastic-Epiglottis Corniculate Cuneiform Apex of arytenoids

19
Q

Rima glottidis

A

Intercartilaginous part- Between arytenoid cartilages

Intermembranous part- Between vocal folds

20
Q

Fibro-elastic membrane

A

Within the cartilage encasement

Sandwiched between Mucous membrane and Laryngeal muscles

Upper part Quadrangular membrane:
Free inferior border-Vestibular ligament
Superior border- Aryepiglotic ligament

Inferior part-Conus elasticus
Lateral cricothyroid ligaments

21
Q

Cricothyroid joints

A

Rotation of cricoid cartilage around a transverse axis

Changes in tension of vocal folds and ligaments

22
Q

Cricoarytenoid joints

A

Arytenoid cartilages rotate around a vertical axis

Vocal process swing:
Laterally Width of rima glottidis inreases
Medially Width of rima glottidis decreases

23
Q

Cricothyroid muscles

A

Stretch and tense the vocal folds and ligaments

The degree of tension determines the sound pitch (frequency)

24
Q

Thyroarytenoids

A

Main relaxers

Relaxation by shortening vocal folds and ligaments. Vocalis also involved in relaxation.

25
Q

Posterior cricoarytenoid muscles

A

Only abductors of vocal folds

Arytenoid cartilages Rotate medially
Vocal processes Swing laterally

Forced inspiration

Pull arytenoids backward- Tense vocal folds

26
Q

Lateral cricoarytenoid muscles

A

Main adductors of vocal folds

Arytenoid cartilages Rotate laterally
Vocal processes Swing medially

Whispering- Intercartilaginous part of rima glottidis remain opened

27
Q

Transverse arytenoid

A

Pull the arytenoid cartilages together

Preparatory to Phonation

28
Q

Oblique arytenoids and Aryepiglottics

A

Sphincteric action-Prevents entrance of foreign bodies into laryngeal cavity

29
Q

Thyroepiglottic

A

Widen the laryngeal inlet
