Describe the motor innervation (include components innervated) to the larynx. intrinsic muscles except cricothyroid by recurrent laryngeal nerve of CN X; cricothyroid by external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve of CN X
Slit-like opening between the false vocal cords. Rima vestibuli
Fissure separating upper and middle lobes of the right lung. Oblique horizontal
A sharp mucosal covered ridge of the middle meatus. Uncinate process
Name given to parietal pleura over apex of lung. Cupula
Meatus into which the nasolacrimal duct drains. Inferior meatus
Hypertrophied lymphatic components on the roof of the nasopharynx. Adenoids
Internally correspond to alae of the nose; has sweat glands, sebaceous glands and hairs. Vestibule
Swelling in the middle meatus, marks the position of ethmoid air cells. Ethmoid bulla
Besides the aorta, list two structures which can pass through the aortic hiatus. Thoracic duct, azygos vein
What muscle of the larynx is an antagonist to the cricothyroid muscle? Thyroarytenoid
What muscle of the larynx extends from posterior surface of the cricoid lamina to the muscular process of the arytenoids cartilage? Posterior cricoarytenoid
Structure over which the mucosa of the larynx is reflected to form the vestibular fold. Quadrangular membrane
Slit-like opening between the true vocal cords. Rima glottidis
Define a bronchopulmonary segment. Portion of a lung supplied with air from a tertiary bronchus and its branches.

What muscle of the larynx lengthens and tightens the vocal cord, thus increasing pitch? Cricothyroid
What muscle of the larynx inserts on the muscular process of the arytenoid and rotates the cartilage medially, but does not pull the cartilage anteriorly? Lateral cricoarytenoid
Give the term for the space between the true and false vocal cords. Ventricle
Name given to mucosal reflection formed by the lower edge of the quadrangular membrane. Vocal ford
