Nerve Supply of the Larynx • Sensory Nerves • Above the vocal cords: The internal laryngeal branch of the superior laryngeal branch of the vagus • Below the level of the vocal cords: The recurrent laryngeal nerve • Motor Nerves • All the intrinsic muscles of the larynx are supplied by the recurrent laryngeal nerve except The cricothyroid muscle is supplied by the external laryngeal branch of the superior laryngeal branch of the vagus. • Blood Supply of the Larynx • superior thyroid artery • inferior thyroid artery

Site The thyroid gland consists of right and left lobes which extend from oblique line of thyroid cartilage to the level of 4th or 5th tracheal ring The isthmus infront of 2nd,3rd,4th tracheal rings Thyroid gland

All muscles of the larynx are innervated by recurrent laryngeal nerve except----- • Cricothyroid muscle • thyroarytenoid muscle • transverse arytenoid muscle • thyroepiglottic muscles Regarding the arytenoid cartilage, all of the following are true except……………. • Small and pyramid shaped • Located at the back of the larynx • Articulate with the upper border of the cricoid cartilage • A muscular process give attachment to the vocal cord MCQ
Bilateral complete section of the recurrent laryngeal nerve results in………………….. • Weak voice • Loss of voice • Acute respiratory distress • No great effect Bilateral partial section of the recurrent laryngeal nerve results in………………….. • Weak voice • Loss of voice • Acute respiratory distress • No great effect unilateral section of the recurrent laryngeal nerve results in………………….. • Weak voice • Loss of voice • Acute respiratory distress • No great effect
The vocal cord is --------- • The upper end of quadrangular membrane • The lower end of quadrangular membrane • The upper end of cricothyroid membrane • The lower end of cricothyroid membrane The vestibular cord is --------- • The upper end of quadrangular membrane • The lower end of quadrangular membrane • The upper end of cricothyroid membrane The lower end of cricothyroid membrane The aryepiglottic fold is --------- • The upper end of quadrangular membrane • The lower end of quadrangular membrane • The upper end of cricothyroid membrane • The lower end of cricothyroid membrane
Superior thyroid artery is branch of--------------- • Internal carotid artery • External carotid artery • Common carotid artery • Thyrocervical trunk inferior thyroid artery is branch of--------------- • Internal carotid artery • External carotid artery • Common carotid artery • Thyrocervical trunk
