Q

What is the action and innervation of the Transverse and obilque arytenoid m.?

A
  • Closes intercartilaginous portion of rima glottidis
  • IMPORTANT FOR COUGHING

*Innervation = Inferior Laryngeal n.

17
Q

What is the action and innervation of the Thyroartenoid m.?

A
  • Relaxes Vocal Fold
  • LOWERS pitch of the voice

*Innervation = Inferior Laryngeal n.

18
Q

What is the action and innervation of the Lateral Cricoarytenoid?

A
  • ADducts vocal Fold
  • CLOSES airway partially or completely depending upon the action of other muscles

*Innervation = Inferior Laryngeal n.

19
Q

What is the action and innervation of the Posterior Cricoarytenoid?

A
  • ABducts vocal Fold
  • OPENS airway more to facilitate breathing

*Innervation = Inferiro Laryngeal n.

20
Q

What is the action and innervation of the Cricothyroid Muscle?

A
  • Stretches Vocal Fold
  • RAISES Pitch of the voice

*Innervation = EXternal branch of SUPERIOR Laryngeal n.

21
Q

What is the relationship between the action of the Cricothyroid and Thyroarytenoid Muscle?

A

*Opposing Effects on the Voice

  • Cricothyroid: RAISES the pitch of the voice
  • Thyroarytenoid: LOWERs the pitch of the voice
22
Q

What is the relationship between the action of the Lateral and Posterior Cricoarytenoid Muscles?

A
  • Opposing Effects on AIRWAY

Posterior Cricoarytenoid:
- ABducts Vocal fold to OPEN Airway

Lateral Arytenoid:
- ADducts Vocal Fold to CLOSE Airway (partially of completely)

23
Q

What muscle is important when your are coughing?

A
  • Transverse and Oblique Arytenoid
