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

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?

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