Tongue, anterior digastric, and mylohyoid muscles
Cricothyroid, arytenoid, and vocal folds
Which are the branches off the internal carotid artery in the neck?
Superior thyroid, lingual, and facial
Ascending pharyngeal and occipital
There are none
External carotid and vertebral branches
Which are the branches off the external carotid artery in the neck?
Maxillary, vertebral, and costocervical trunk
Superior thyroid, lingual, facial, ascending pharyngeal, occipital, posterior auricular, maxillary, transverse facial, and superficial temporal artery
Inferior thyroid, ascending cervical, superior thyroid, occipital, maxillary, vertebral, subclavian, facial, and internal thoracic

What two structures run with the common carotid artery in the neck?
Phrenic nerve and thoracic duct
External jugular vein and accessory nerve
Internal jugular vein and vagus nerve
Subclavian vein and cervical sympathetic trunk
What are two motor and sensory nerves arising from the vagus nerve in the carotid triangle?
Spinal accessory (motor) and lingual (sensory) nerves
Recurrent laryngeal and external laryngeal (motor), internal laryngeal (sensory)
Facial (sensory) and hypoglossal (motor) nerves

Which ligaments connect the thyroid and the cricoid cartilages?
Thyrohyoid membrane and stylomandibular ligament
Median and lateral cricothyroid ligaments
Vocal and aryepiglottic ligaments
Costocervical and thyrocervical ligaments
Which muscle runs with the vocal ligament?
Cricothyroid
Sternothyroid
Vocalis muscle
Posterior cricoarytenoid
Damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve would affect which intrinsic muscle of the larynx?
Sternohyoid muscle
Cricoarytenoid muscle
Thyrohyoid muscle
Stylopharyngeus muscle
Would damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve have a greater effect on phonation than damage to the external laryngeal nerve? Why?
No, because the external laryngeal nerve innervates the main vocal folds
Yes, because the recurrent laryngeal nerve innervates all the intrinsic muscles of the larynx except cricothyroid
No, both have the same effect on phonation
Yes, because the external laryngeal nerve innervates the tongue and larynx
What would be impaired in the larynx with damage to the internal laryngeal nerve?
Motor control of the vocal cords
Sensation of the larynx
Blood supply to the vocal folds
Movement of the arytenoid cartilages
