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
efferent neurons
peripheral neurons
Important structure adjacent to the brainstem, contains hypothalamus/thalamus:
mesencephalon
superior cerebral peduncle
diencephalon
postcentral gyrus
The corpus striatum is composed of which three masses:
mesencephalon, RAS, caudate nucleus
putamen, caudate nucleus, basal ganglia
globus pallidus, caudate nucleus, putamen
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?
True vocal folds
Lamina propina
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?
V: Trigeminal
X: Vagus
XII: Hypoglossal
XI: Spinal Accessory
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?
production of cough to clear airway

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
