Most pharyngeal muscles are innervated by cranial nerves:
VIII, X
X, XI
XI, XII
IX, X
The neurons that transmit information away from the brain are called:
primary neurons
peripheral neurons
afferent neurons
efferent neurons
Important structure adjacent to the brainstem, contains hypothalamus/thalamus:
superior cerebral peduncle
diencephalon
mesencephalon
postcentral gyrus
The corpus striatum is composed of which three masses:
globus pallidus, caudate nucleus, putamen
putamen, caudate nucleus, basal ganglia
mesencephalon, RAS, caudate nucleus
supramarginal gyrus, angular gyrus, globus pallidus
The ACA supplies blood to the:
caudate nucleus and globus pallidus
corpus callosum and basal ganglia
substantia negra
corpus striatum
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?
Aryepiglottic folds
Lamina propina
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?
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
genioglossus
buccinator
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?

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
oropharynx
laryngopharynx
mesopharynx
