What anatomical structures are innervated by the nervus Laryngeus inferior?
The recurrent laryngeal nerves supply sensation to the larynx below the vocal cords, give cardiac branches to the deep cardiac plexus, and branch to the trachea, esophagus and the inferior constrictor muscles….

What are the 5 layers of the vocal folds?
The vocal fold comprises five layers (deep to superficial layers as follows): thyroarytenoid muscle, deep lamina propria, intermediate lamina propria, superficial lamina propria, and the squamous epithelium. The deep and intermediate lamina propria both are grouped to form the vocal ligament mentioned above.
What is Paramedian position?
The abnormal movement can be characterized as being paretic, meaning some movement is present, albeit reduced or paralyzed, with complete cessation of vocal fold movement. If a true vocal fold is paralyzed, it can be described as being paralyzed in a midline, paramedian, or lateral position.
What is Semon’s law?
In 1881, Semon1 formulated his well known law stating that in. incomplete or partial recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis there is. an isolated paralysis of the abductor function of the glottis. ‘ l’lus. proclivity to disease of the abductor over the adductor muscles.
What are possible clinical manifestations of recurrent laryngeal nerve damage?
Damage to the nerves of the larynx can cause hoarseness, difficulty in swallowing or breathing, or the loss of voice. Treatment depends on the cause and extent of the laryngeal nerve damage. Damage to the laryngeal nerve can result in loss of voice or obstruction to breathing.
What artery runs with recurrent laryngeal nerve?
subclavian artery
The right recurrent laryngeal nerve arises from in front of the subclavian artery. It then ascends alongside the trachea posterior to the common carotid artery. At the inferior pole of the thyroid gland, the recurrent laryngeal nerve is closely related to the inferior thyroid artery.
What is Laryngotracheal groove?
laryngotracheal groove. A groove in the floor of the pharynx formed from the ventral diverticulum of endoderm that arises from the floor of the foregut caudal to the pharynx. This structure is the precursor for the larynx and trachea[WP,edited].
What nerve controls the larynx?
The vagus nerve
The vagus nerve is the 10th cranial nerve and is responsible for supplying the entire larynx with its complex innervation through the different nerves and respective branches discussed in this article.
What muscle relaxes the vocal cords?
Thyroarytenoid muscle
Lateral cricoarytenoid muscle: extends from cricoid cartilage [arch] to muscular process of the arytenoid cartilage. Adducts vocal folds. Thyroarytenoid muscle: extends from angle of the thyroid cartilage to arytenoid cartilage. They pull the arytenoid anteriorly, relaxing the vocal folds.
What are the 4 stages of voice production?
It involves four processes: Initiation, phonation, oro-nasal process and articulation. The initiation process is the moment when the air is expelled from the lungs.
What is the gap between the vocal cords called?
Glottis – This is the space between the two vocal folds. When the vocal folds adduct, the glottis closes; when the vocal folds abduct, the glottis opens.
