Q

what is the function of the larynx

A

controls the amount of air entering lower respiratory passageways and closes the larynx during swallowing

does this by altering the position of the vocal processes (arytenoid) and folds

Q

complete this chart

A
21
Q

what is the blood supply to the laryngeal region

A

cranial and caudal laryngeal artery (branch of common carotid artery)

satellite veins drain

22
Q

what is the lymphatic drainage of the laryngeal region

A

retro-pharyngeal lymph nodes

23
Q

what occurs to the larynx during swallowing

A
  1. bolus formed in oral cavity
  2. pushed into oropharynx by tongue (voluntary)
  3. soft palate elevated to close off nasopharynx
  4. bolus moved thru pharynx into esophagus by sequential contraction of constrictor muscles while larynx and hyoid apparatus are moved rostrally
  5. epiglottis partially covers aditus
  6. glottis closed by lateral cricoarytenoid mm/transverse arytenoid mm
  7. bolus passes over or around epiglottis

if food doesn’t enter –> contact with mucosa of vestibule initiates reflex coughing

24
Q

how does the larynx lead to vocalization

A

narrowing and widening to glottis causes air to vibrate the vocal folds

pitch –> length and tension of vocal folds, action of cricothyroid mm/thyroarytenoid mm

resonance –> other cavities of the head (paranasal sinuses)

25
Q

what are clinical problems associated with larynx in horses

A
  1. soft palate displacement
  2. aryepiglottic fold entrapment
  3. left recurrent laryngeal neuropathy (hemiplegia)
26
Q

what is soft palate displacement

A

dislocation of larynx and trapping of epiglottis below soft palate (chocking up-gurgling)

corrected by removing epiglottis

27
Q

what is aryepiglottic fold entrapment

A

folds partially covers entrance to glottis

28
Q

what is left recurrent laryngeal neuropathy in horses

A

degeneration of left recurrent laryngeal nerve

results in paralysis of left dorsal cricoarytenoid muscle (abductor) –> vocal fold becomes flaccid

29
Q

how is left recurrent laryngeal neuropathy corrected

A

prosthesis, removal of lateral ventricle

30
Q

what are clinical problems associated with larynx in dogs

A
  1. elongation of soft palate
  2. fractures of larynx and hyoid
  3. paralysis of larynx (older dogs, inherited in some cases)
31
Q

what is the shape of epiglottis is ruminants

A

epiglottis –> rounded

32
Q

what is the shape of the vestibule in ruminants

A

short and deep vestibule

33
Q

what is the features of the interior in the ruminants

A

smooth

are there vestibular folds/lateral ventricles/cuneiform processes in ruminants

A

no

35
Q

is the glottis wide or narrow in ruminants

A

narrow

36
Q

what is the shape of the vestibule in pigs

A

long and narrow

37
Q

what is the shape of epiglottis in pigs
