Most pharyngeal muscles are innervated by cranial nerves:
X, XI
XI, XII
IX, X
VIII, X
The neurons that transmit information away from the brain are called:
peripheral neurons
afferent neurons
primary neurons
efferent neurons
Important structure adjacent to the brainstem, contains hypothalamus/thalamus:
diencephalon
superior cerebral peduncle
mesencephalon
postcentral gyrus
The corpus striatum is composed of which three masses:
globus pallidus, caudate nucleus, putamen
mesencephalon, RAS, caudate nucleus
putamen, caudate nucleus, basal ganglia
supramarginal gyrus, angular gyrus, globus pallidus
The ACA supplies blood to the:
corpus callosum and basal ganglia
substantia negra
corpus striatum
caudate nucleus and globus pallidus
I extend from the tips of the arytenoid cartilages to the larynx, separate the laryngeal vestibule from the pharynx, and preserve the airway. Who am I?
Lamina propina
Aryepiglottic folds
Ventricular folds
True vocal folds
I'm the cranial nerve that innervates the larynx and also the levator veli palatini, palatoglossus, and palatopharyngeus muscles. Who am I?
XI: Spinal Accessory
X: Vagus
V: Trigeminal
XII: Hypoglossal
When a person is producing voiced and voiceless /th/, the muscle that is most involved is:
styloglossus
buccinator
genioglossus
palatopharyngeus

pull ribs downward
The 11 paired INTERNAL intercostals ______:
raise ribs up and out
pull ribs downward
Which is NOT a biological function of the larynx?
closure of the trachea to protect lungs

Recurrent laryngeal nerve
Superior laryngeal nerve
I supply all sensory information below the vocal folds. Who am I?
Recurrent laryngeal nerve
Superior laryngeal nerve
Which is NOT a segment of the pharyngeal cavity?
laryngopharynx
oropharynx
mesopharynx
nasopharynx
