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

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?
production of cough to clear airway
closure of the trachea to protect lungs

Recurrent laryngeal nerve
Superior laryngeal nerve
Which is NOT a segment of the pharyngeal cavity?
oropharynx
mesopharynx
nasopharynx
laryngopharynx
