Q

Capsular ligament

A

Contains posterior, anterior, and lateral ceratocricoid?

Rotational/gliding motion dictated by capsular ligament places the vocal folds under increased tension, thus causing an increase in the pitch of the voice

A

3/5 total length of glottis and is the anterior 3/5 of vocal fold. Extends from thyroid cartilage at the angle (anterior commissure)

27
Q

Sternothyroid muscle

A

Origin- posterior surface of the manubrium of the sternum and the first costal cartilage
Insertion- oblique tendon or line of the thyroid cartilage
Function- draws thyroid cartilage downward and can be involved in positioning

28
Q

Thyrohyoid muscle

A

Origin- oblique tendon or line of the thyroid cartilage
Insertion- lower border of the greater horn of the hyoid bone
Function- reduces distance b/t thyroid cartilage and hyoid bone (initiation of swallow)

29
Q

Digastric muscle

A

Pairs muscle with anterior & posterior bellies
Origin: anterior from inside surface of lower border of mandible near symphysis, posterior is hyoid bone
Insertion: lesser horn of the hyoid bone, posterior goes up to mastoid process
Function: draws hyoid bone up and forward, if hyoid is fixed may depress lower jaw

30
Q
Mylohyoid muscle
(Long card...scroll down)
A

Origin: along the mylohyoid line along inner surface of mandible from man fibulae symphysis to last molar
Insertion: medially down to opposite side tendinous raphe which extends from the mental symphysis to hyoid bone. Posterior fibers attach directly to hyoid bone
Function: when contracted elevates hyoid bone, floor of mouth, and tongue
* important for initial Stages of swallowing
**thin unpaired sheet of muscle fibers which for floor of mouth

31
Q

Geniohyoid muscle

A

Origin: come from a short tendon, from lower mental spine at mandibular symphysis
Insertion: course backward and downward to insert on the anterior surface of the body of the hyoid bone
Function: pulls hyoid bone up and forward
*sits kind of on top of mylohyoid

32
Q

Hyoglossus

A

Origin: upper border of the body and greater horns of hyoid
Insertion: posterior and lateral regions of tongue
Function: Influences the position of the larynx indirectly
*extrinsic muscle of tongue

33
Q

Genioglossus

A

Origin: mental symphysis of mandible
Insertion: body of hyoid (lower fibers) and whole undersurface of tongue (upper fibers)
Function: elevates hyoid bone and draws it forward
*extrinsic muscle of tongue

34
Q

Sternohyoid muscle

A

Origin: posterior surface of the manubrium of the sternum
Insertion: fibers course vertically upward and insert on the lower border of the body of the hyoid bone
Function: if sternum is fixed draws hyoid down, if hyoid is fixed raises sternum, potentially help if respiration

35
Q

Omohyoid muscle

A

Origin: upper border of the scapula
Insertion: inferior/lateral belly fibers course horizontally to an intermediate tendon and the. The superior belly runs vertically to insert into the greater Cornu of the hyoid bone
