34
superior laryngeal n brr
internal and external
35
internal br of superior laryngeal n
SVA, GVA, GVE, pierces thyrohyoid membrane w/superior laryngeal br of superior thyorid a to provide sensory fibers and parasympathetics to base of tongue, epiglottis, aryepiglottic folds and internal portion of larynx ABOVE true vocal fold
36
external brr of superior laryngeal n
SVE courses lat to pharynx and larynx on inf constrictor m accompanied by superior thyroid a innervates cricothyroid m and inf constictor m

56
Sensory from C1,2
follow XII and X retrograde to innervate dura of posterior cranial fossa
57
proprioceptive from C2-4
travel w/XI and leave again as they pass thru SCM and trap
58
