Veterinary respiratory system II Flashcards
Cavity of the larynx
cavum laryngis
translate vestibule of the larynx and describe location
vestibulum laryngis is between the entrance and the vocal folds
Difference between cavum laryngis and vestibulum laryngis?
The cavity of the larynx extends from the laryngeal entrance to the lower border of the cricoid cartilage.
The laryngeal vestibule is the part of the laryngeal cavity lying between the laryngeal inlet and vocal folds.
translate laryngeal inlet and describe boundaries
aditus laryngis is bound by the epiglottis, aryepiglottic folds, and corniculate tubercles
What can be found caudal to the epiglottis in su and eq?
median laryngeal recess (recessus laryngis medianus)
What symmetrical structures extend between the thyroid and arytenoid cartilages in car and eq?
paired vestibular folds
sg. plica vestibularis
(not in su)
purpose of the vestibular folds?
protect vocal folds from damage through strain and swallowing
What can be found between vestibular and vocal folds and in which species are they absent?
sg. ventriculus laryngis
laryngeal ventricles
found in eq and canines; in su two parts of the vocal fold
absent in Ru, fe
translate vocal apparatus and what structures does it consist of?
vocal apparatus = glottis
and consists of vocal folds, arytenoid cartilages and cleft of the glottis
translate cleft of the glottis
rima glottidis
translate (paired) vocal fold
plica vocalis
Where do the plica vocalis run?
from thyroid cartilages parallel to the vestibular fold caudodorsally to the arytenoid cartilages, covers the vocal ligaments
What is unique to the pig vocal folds?
splits into two portions (vertically)
What do the vocal folds/plica vocalis contain?
each fold contains a vocal ligament, vocal muscle and fat tissue
vocal ligament
ligamentum vocale
vocal muscle
musculus vocalis
How’re the contents of the vocal folds positioned?
the ligament positioned medially and the vocal muscle laterally
infraglottic cavity
cavum infraglotticum
Where is the infraglottic cavity?
its caudal to the glottis and leads smoothly to the trachea
What does the laryngeal mucous membrane contain?
mucous glands and lymphoid aggregations
translate laryngeal prominence and which cartilage does it belong to?
prominentia laryngea of the thyroid cartilage
What type of cartilage make up the tracheal rings?
hyaline
What structures is the trachea attached to at its ends?
The cricoid cartilage rostrally and the primary pulmonary bronchi caudally.
Where is the location of the tracheal bifurcation?
at the level of the 4th- 6th intercostal space
