what is the name of the boundary between nasal cavity and nasopharynx
choanae
what are the boney portions of the nasal septum
perpendicular plate of ethmoid (superior)
vomer (inferior)
role of turbinates in nose
warm and circulate air
what bone are the conchae from
superior and middle from ethmoid
inferior is it’s own bone
how are spaces by nasal conchae named and what do they do
named for the conchae superior to them
used for drainage (tears and mucus)
most posterior sinus in face and what is it near
sphenoid sinus - right anterior to optic chiasm and inferior to pituitary
features of middle meatus and what drains into it
ostiomeatal complex:
- semilunar hiatus (frontal, maxillary, and anterior air cells)
- ethmoidal bulla
- uncinate process (ridge)
what drains into superior meatus
posterior ethmoid air cells
what drains into sphenoethmoidal recess
sphenoid sinus
sensory info to nose
V1 and V2
vasculature in nose (3)
- 3rd portion of maxillary

- facial artery
what is boundary between larynx and trachea
inferior border of cricoid cartilage
posterior articulation of cricoid cartilage
superiorly articulates with the arytenoid cartilage, inferiorly with tracheal cartilage
anterior articulation of cricoid cartilage
superiorly articulates with cricothyroid ligament
inferiorly with tracheal cartilage
posterior articulation of arytenoid cartilage
superiorly articulates with corniculate cartilage
inferiorly articulates with cricoid cartilage
anterior articulation of arytenoid cartilage
anteriorly articulates with vocal ligament
ligamentous articulations of epiglottis
superiorly articulates with hyoid bone via hyoepiglottic ligament
inferiorly articulates with thorid bone via stalk of the epiglottis
cavities of larynx from superior to inferior (4)
- laryngeal vestibule
- middle part of laryngeal cavity
- laryngeal vestibule
- infraglottic cavity
purpose of vestibular folds
protection - not vocal folds. mucus membrane that extends between thyorid cartilage and cuneiform ligament
blood supply and drainage from larynx comes off what what vessels
inferior and superior thyroid vessels
what nerve is responsible for the sensation that you need to cough and what is it a branch of
internal laryngeal nerve, branch of superior laryngeal nerve, branch of vagus
what nerves are responsible for motor innervation to larynx and what are they branches of (2)
external laryngeal, branch of superior laryngeal, branch of vagus
inferior laryngeal nerve, branch of recurrent laryngeal nerve, branch of vagus
what does cricothyroid muscle do and what is it innervated by
stretches and tenses vocal ligament
only muscle innervated by external laryngeal nerve
what does posterior cricoarytenoid muscle do
abducts vocal fold
innervated by internal laryngeal/recurrent laryngeal
