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

pull ribs downward
raise ribs up and out
The 11 paired INTERNAL intercostals ______:
raise ribs up and out
pull ribs downward
Which is NOT a biological function of the larynx?
closure of VFs to build subglottic pressure

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