| What is medial to the hyoid and thyroid? | epiglottis. |
| FX of epiglottis | drops to cover the orifices during swallowing |
| Combo of: Cartilage, airway and trachea produces what? | tubelike space with constriction |
| What combines to make vocal folds? | Thyrovocalis, Connective tissue and mucous membrane |
| Where are the vocal folds located between? | arytenoid and thyroid cartilage |
| What type of FXs do muscles that attach to the arytenoid provide? | Adduction and Abduction |
| how is airflow controlled? | Muscle Contraction |
| what is the cavity of the larynx? | a constrictive tube with aerodynamic space. |
| How is the constrictive tube of the larynx created? | the combination of cartilages with mucous membrane. |
| FX of extrensic ligament? | provide attachment between the Hyoid/Trachea and cartilage of Larynx. |
| What space does the thyrohyoid stretch across? | greater cornu of Hyoid and lateral thyroid |
| LTL | superior cornu of thyroid to posterior tip of greater cornu |
| median thyrohyoid ligament | Corpus of hyoid to anterior thyroid |
| MTL, LTL, TH combine to connect what two structures? | Larynx and Hyoid bone |
| Hyoepiglottic and thyroepiglottic | attach epiglottis to thyroid and hyoid |
| Lateral and Median glassoepiglottic ligament | epiglottic attachment to the tongue |
| valleculae | little valleys between the tongue and epiglottis |
| what is the fx of the cricotracheal ligament? | trachea attached to the larynx |
| intrinsic ligament | connects cartilage forms supportive structure for the cavity of the larynx and the vocal folds. |
| what composes of the fibroelastic membrane? | quadrangular, aryepiglottic folds, lower conus elasticus and the vocal ligament. |
| pyriform sinus | space between the aryepiglottic folds and thyroid cartilage |
| Squamos Epithelium | .1 mm thick gives glossy white appearance moist delicate tissues |
| Superficial Lamina Propria | elastin fibers allows stretchiness cushions focal volds |
| ILP | Deep to SLP cross layered with SLP 1-2 MM provide both strength and elasticity combo of SLP and ILP produce vocal ligament |
| DLP | 1-2 mm thick supportive collagen fibers that prohibit extension the ILP/DLP combine to make up the vocal ligament. |
| thryoarytenoid muscles | thyrovocalis and thyromusculuaris |
| active element of vocal cords | thyrovocalis |
| aditus | entry to the larynx from the pharynx above |
| vestibule | first cavity of the larynx |
| what is the vestibule also called? | the entryway |
| where is the vestibule located? | between the aditus and the ventricular folds |
| what are the ventricle folds also known as what? | False folds |
| laryngeal ventricle | space between the false and true vocal folds. |
| what permits voicing? | the variable sphincter |
| length of glottis at rest? | 20 mm in adults from anterior to posterior commisure |
| at rest the posterior glottis is how wide? | 8 mm wide |
| lateral margins of the glottis | vocal folds arytenoids |
| what are the anterior three-fifths of the vocal margin made up of? | membranous glottis |
| how big is free margin of vocal folds in males and females? | 15;12 |
| FX of free margin? | vibrating element of the voice |
| what is the posterior two-fifths of vocal folds comprised of? | cartilage of arytenoids |
| what are the 2/5ths of vocal folds called? | cartilaginous glottis |
| how big is the cartilaginous glottis? | 4-8 mm |
| Is the cricoid cartilage paired or unpaired? | Unpaired |
| how big is the diameter of cricoid? | same size as the trachea |
| what type of joint is the cricoid thyroid? | a pivotal diarthrodial joint |
| fx of cricothyroid joint? | permits rotation |
| is the thyroid paired or unpaired? | unpaired |
| what are the two plates of the thyroid? | thyroid laminae |
| what structure will you see at the thyroid angle | thyroid notch |
| what is on the lateral superficial surface of thyroid laminae? | oblique line |
| inferior cornu | project to cricoid |
| superior cornu | project to hyoid |
| what may be found between the hyoid and superior cornu? | triticeal |
| what resides in the posterolateral surface of the cricoid? | the paired arytenoids |
| FX of arytenoids? | provide mechanical structure that permits onset and offset of voicing |
| what is on the superior surface of every arytenoid cartilage? | corniculate |
| is the epiglottis unpaired or paired? | unpaired |
| what is the epiglottis attached to | the hyoid via Hyoepiglottic ligament |
| what are cunieform cartilages? | cartilages embedden within the aryepiglottic folds |
