what muscle abducts vocal cords
posterior cricoarytenoid muscles
what nerve innervates the intrinsic muscles
recurrent laryngeal nerve
what nerve innervates the circothyroid muscle
SLN
what nerve innervates the vocal cords?
trick question…they are ligaments = not innervated.
what does the aryepiglottic do?
closes the laryngeal vestibule
what does the interarrytenoid transverse and oblique muscle do?
closes posterior commissure of glottis
what muscles elevate the larynx
digastric anterior and posterior
mylohyoid
stylohyoid
thyrohyoid
how does the cricothyroid muscle assist with swallowing
contraction -> anterior region of the cricoid cartilage towards the lower border of the thyroid cartilage
what muscles depress the larynx
omoyoid
sternohyoid
sternothyroid
what does the anterior ethmoidal nerve innervate
Branch of V1 of trigeminal nerve (opthalmic branch)
nares and anterior 1/3rd of the nasal septum
what does the sphenopalatine nerve innervate
maxillary nerve V2 of trigeminal nerve
terminates and post 2/3rd of nasal septum
what does the lingual nerve innervate
branch of V3 mandibular nerve of trigeminal nerve
anterior 2/3rd of tongue
glossopharyngeal nerve innervation
CN 9
soft palate
oropharynx
tonsils
posterior 1/3 of tongue
vallecula
anterior side of epiglottis
what is the gag reflex
cn 9 ( glossopharngeal nerve) - afferent limb
cn 10 - efferent limb
what muscles to the SLN internal branch innervate
trick question - no motor innervation
sensory; posterior side of the epiglottis to the level of the vocal cords
what does the SLN external branch provide sensory for
0 sensory innervation - only motor to the cricothyroid muscle
what nerve provides motor for mastication
manidublar (linguial) nerve of V3 from the trigeminal nerve
what nerve provides motor for phonation
glossopharyngeal (CN 9 )
what does the RLN innervate
sensory; below the vocal cords/ tracheal
motor; all intrinsic except cricothyroid
where does the SLN begin to branch
branches off the vagus nerve just beyond the jugular foramen at the skull base
when does the sln branch between the internal and external branches
at the level of the hyoid
where do the RLN makes the turn
right loops under the subclavian artery
left loops under the aortic arch
how does an SLN injury present
hoarsness
affected side = wavy
which RLN is more susceptible to injury?
left due to its position in the larynx- goes around the aortic arch
