guttural pouch

38
Q

What are the parts of the guttural pouch?

A

lateral

39
Q

What is the guttural pouch divided by?

A

stylohyoid bone

40
Q

The [medial/lateral] compartment of the guttural pouch has internal carotid a., CN X, CN XI, and CN IX, and the [medial/lateral] compartment of the guttural pouch has CN VII and external carotid a.

muscles

surrounded by mucosa

44
Q

What is the larynx between?

A

nasopharynx and trachea

ventral to atlas and axis vertebrae

45
Q

What is funtion?

A

air pathway mainly, phonation and blockage of foreign bodies to the lower air pathways
