Study Notes

Laryngeal Muscles

Intrinsic laryngeal muscles are further divided into two subgroups: extrinsic and intrinsic muscles.
Strap muscles, also known as sternothyreoideus and thyreohyoideus, are flat in shape.
Cricothyreoideus posterior and lateral cricoarytenoideus muscles control the laryngeal inlet.
Vocalis, cricothyreoideus, and thyroarytenoideus muscles control the movements of the vocal folds.
A muscle's name is composed of the origin and insertion of the muscle.
The action of a muscle indicates its function.
Elevators of the larynx are called laryngeal elevators, while depressors of the larynx are called laryngeal depressors.
Intrinsic laryngeal muscles are very informative in terms of their nomenclature.
The sternohyoideus muscle extends from the sternum to the hyoid bone.

Functions of Specific Muscles

Aryepiglottic and interarytenoideus muscles bring the arytenoids and aryepiglottic folds closer, narrowing the laryngeal inlet.
Cricothyreoideus muscle increases the length and tension of the vocal folds, leading to a higher pitch.
Thyroarytenoideus muscle decreases the length and tension of the vocal cords, leading to a lower pitch.

Blood Supply and Innervation

The superior laryngeal artery supplies blood to the upper half of the larynx.
The inferior laryngeal artery supplies blood to the lower half of the larynx.
The internal laryngeal nerve provides sensory innervation to the mucosa from the inlet to the glottis.
The external laryngeal nerve provides motor innervation to the cricothyroid muscle.
The recurrent laryngeal nerve provides motor innervation to all intrinsic laryngeal muscles except the cricothyroid muscle.
The vagus nerve provides sensory and motor innervation to the larynx.
Lymph vessels drain from the larynx into the deep cervical nodes.

The digastric muscle elevates the hyoid bone upwards and backwards.
The stylohyoid and hyoglossus muscles depress the hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage.
The sternohyoideus and omohyoideus muscles bring the hyoid bone down in the direction of the sternum.
The geniohyoid muscle provides stability for tongue movement during swallowing and contributes to hyoid elevation and mandibular depression when the hyoid is fixed.
The mylohyoideus muscle elevates and performs forward traction on the hyoid bone.
The stylohyoid and digastric muscles are laryngeal elevators if contracted while the hyoid is fixed.
The omohyoideus and sternohyoideus muscles depress the hyoid bone.
The thyrohyoid muscle depresses and retracts the hyoid bone.

The lateral cricoarytenoideus muscle closes the membranous glottis.
The interarytenoideus muscle closes the cartilaginous glottis.
