  1. TO REVIEW

  2. SKELETAL STRUCTURE OF LARYNX 6 Cartilages: Cricoid Thyroid Arytenoid Corniculate Cuneiform Epiglottic 1 Bone: Hyoid Basic Structure/Layers of Vocal Folds: Epithelium Lamina Propria Thyroarytenoid (Vocalis) Muscle

  3. Cricoid Cartilage (Anterior)

  4. Thyroid Cartilage (Anterior)

  5. Arytenoid, Corniculate, and Cuneiform Cartilages

  6. Epiglottic Cartilage (Anterior, then Sagittal)

  7. Hyoid Bone (Anterior)

  8. MOVING ON....

  9. INTRINSIC LARYNGEAL MUSCLES: All Paired Arytenoid Muscles Interarytenoids (transverse, oblique) Thyroarytenoid Muscles Cricoarytenoid Muscles (posterior, lateral) Cricothyroid Muscles

  10. INTRINSIC LARYNGEAL MUSCLES: All inervated by recurrent laryngeal nerve Except: Cricothyroids invervated by external branch of superior laryngeal nerve

  11. Intrinsic Muscles Anterior-Superior View Intrinsic Muscles Posterior-Superior View

  12. INTRINSIC MUSCLES: OPENING & CLOSING THE FOLDS

  13. INTRINSIC MUSCLES: CLOSERS/ADDUCTORS Lateral Cricoarytenoids (LCA) Interarytenoids (IA) Transverse Oblique

  14. INTRINSIC MUSCLES: OPENERS/ABDUCTORS Posterior Cricoarytenoids (PCA) Pull the arytenoids laterally to open the glottis

  15. INTRINSIC MUSCLES: LENGTHENING AND SHORTENING THE FOLDS

  16. INTRINSIC MUSCLES: LENGTHENERS/THINNING

  17. Pitch/Frequency of voiced sounds is largely controlled by varying the length of the vocal folds. As the folds are lengthened, their mass per unit length is reduced. Consequently, they vibrate faster when lengthened. The vocal folds are attached to the thyroid cartilage at the front and the arytenoid cartilage at the back. The arytenoid cartilage, however, rides on the cricoid cartilage. So the length of the folds is mainly achieved by using the Cricothyroid (CT) Muscles, which rock the cricoid cartilage backward and upward, causing rotational movement of the thyroid cartilage (moving it slightly forward and tipping its front end downward). The cricothyroid muscles also pull the arytenoid cartilages slightly backwards, as they ride on the cricoid cartilage. These movements enabled by the cricothyroid muscles both lengthen and thin the vocal folds. INTRINSIC MUSCLES: LENGTHENERS/THINNING

  18. INTRINSIC MUSCLES: SHORTENERS/THICKENING Shortening of the vocal folds occurs when the thyroarytenoid muscles (TA) contracts. When the thyroarytenoid muscles are not opposed by the thyrocricoid muscles (the lengtheners), they exert a shortening-thickening-laxing influence on the vocal fold cover tissues.

  19. TO RECAP: Openers/Abductors: PCA Closer/Adductors: LCA & IA Lengtheners: CT Shorteners: TA IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER: The Lengtheners/Shorteners and Openers/Closers all work in constant relationship to each other.
