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

pull ribs downward
The 11 paired INTERNAL intercostals ______:
pull ribs downward
raise ribs up and out
Which is NOT a biological function of the larynx?
phonation for speech
production of cough to clear airway

area 6 (supplementary motor cortex)
area 22 (Wernicke's)
I provide all sensory information to the larynx and motor innervation solely to the cricothyroid muscle. Who am I?
Superior laryngeal nerve
Recurrent 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?
nasopharynx
mesopharynx
oropharynx
laryngopharynx
