Study Notes
Posterior Cricoarytenoids
- Contraction abducts vocal cords by rotating arytenoid cartilage.
- Opens rima glottidis during quiet inspiration.
- Vocal folds are abducted, creating a triangular-shaped rima glottidis.
- During deep inspiration, vocal cords are maximally abducted, resulting in a diamond-shaped rima glottidis.
Sound Production of the Larynx
- Produced by intermittent release of expired air between adducted vocal folds, causing them to vibrate.
- High-pitched sounds occur when vocal cords are taut or stretched.
- Lower-pitched sounds are produced when vocal cords are slack or relaxed.
Lateral Cricoarytenoid Muscle
- Adducts vocal cords by rotating arytenoid cartilage.
Transverse Arytenoid Muscle
- Narrows posterior part of the glottis by drawing arytenoid cartilages together.
Trachea Anatomy
- Bifurcates behind the arch of the aorta into right and left principal bronchi.
- Bronchi divide into millions of terminal bronchioles, which lead to respiratory bronchioles.
- Each respiratory bronchiole further divides into 2 to 11 alveolar ducts entering the alveolar sacs.
- Alveoli form as diverticula from the walls of the sacs.
Trachea Nerve and Blood Supply
- Sensory supply from vagus and recurrent laryngeal nerves.
- Sympathetic nerves supply the trachealis muscle.
- Upper two-thirds of the trachea supplied by inferior thyroid arteries.
- Lower third supplied by bronchial arteries.
Bronchi Anatomy
- Primary bronchi bifurcate from the trachea.
- Diameter of bronchi greater than 1mm; smaller airways are termed bronchioles.
- Right bronchus is shorter, wider, and more vertical than the left, making it a common site for foreign body aspiration.
Left Lung Structure
- Comprises a superior lobe and an inferior lobe, each containing five bronchopulmonary segments.
- Bronchopulmonary segments are pyramid-shaped and functional units of the lungs, surrounded by connective tissue.
Lung Covering
- Visceral pleura covers lung surfaces and extends into interlobar fissures.
- Parietal pleura adheres to mediastinum and diaphragm.
- Major and minor fissures divide the lung lobes.
- Oblique fissure runs from T3 spinous process to the 6th rib midclavicularly.
- Horizontal fissure is located at the 4th costal cartilage, meeting the oblique fissure at the midaxillary line.
Pleural Cuff and Function
- The union of visceral and parietal pleura creates the pleural cuff around lung structures at the hilum.
- Allows movement of pulmonary vessels and large bronchi during respiration while attaching the lung to the mediastinum.

Description
This quiz covers the anatomy and function of the laryngeal muscles, including the posterior cricoarytenoids and lateral cricoarytenoid. It explores the mechanics of sound production in the larynx and the anatomy of the trachea. Test your knowledge on how these structures facilitate breathing and vocalization.
