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:
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:
supramarginal gyrus, angular gyrus, globus pallidus
globus pallidus, caudate nucleus, putamen
mesencephalon, RAS, caudate nucleus
putamen, caudate nucleus, basal ganglia
The ACA supplies blood to the:
corpus striatum
caudate nucleus and globus pallidus
corpus callosum and basal ganglia
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
Aryepiglottic 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?
X: Vagus
XII: Hypoglossal
V: Trigeminal
XI: Spinal Accessory
When a person is producing voiced and voiceless /th/, the muscle that is most involved is:
genioglossus
styloglossus
palatopharyngeus
buccinator

raise ribs up and out
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?
phonation for speech
production of cough to clear airway
closure of VFs to build subglottic pressure
closure of the trachea to protect lungs
Which of the following is NOT a layer of the vocal folds?

Which of the following is NOT a primary cortical area involved in speech-motor control?
area 22 (Wernicke's)
area 44 (Broca's)
area 6 (supplementary motor cortex)
area 4 (primary motor cortex)
I provide all sensory information to the larynx and motor innervation solely to the cricothyroid muscle. Who am I?
Recurrent laryngeal nerve
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
laryngopharynx
oropharynx
nasopharynx
