Topic: Cricothyroid muscle



  
 Vocal Cord Paralysis
Nonfunction of the intrinsic muscles of the larynx on the affected side (loss of abduction with intact adduction by cricothyroid) cause the vocal cord to assume a paramedian position.
The external superior laryngeal nerve runs over the inferior constrictor muscle to innervate the one muscle of the larynx not innervated by the recurrent laryngeal nerve, the cricothyroid muscle.
The cricothyroid muscle is considered to be an extrinsic muscle of the larynx because it is innervated by the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve.

For instance, the cricothyroid muscle, which happens to be the only intrinsic muscle on the external surface of the larynx, is innervated by the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve.
Similarly, the 'false' (i.e., vestibular) folds are formed by the draping of muscosa over the medial border of the thyroarytenoid muscle, penetrated by the downward extension of the quadrangular membrane.
Phonation the vocal ligaments are straightened, and tensed, under the action of the cricothyroid, to approximate one another at the midline.

Supplies all of the muscles of the larynx except for the cricothyroid muscle.
The origin, course and distribution of the sensory nerves (internal branch of the superior laryngeal nerve and the recurrent laryngeal nerve), and motor nerves (external branch of the superior laryngeal for the cricothyroid and the recurrent laryngeal nerve to all other intrinsic muscles) associated with the larynx.
Each fold has: vocal ligament – thickened elastic tissue that is the medial free edge of the lateral cricothyroid ligament (conus elasticus) vocalis muscle – the fine muscle fibers that form the most medial part of the thyroarytenoid muscle The folds are the source of sounds.

Larynx, ventral view, demonstrating cricothyroid muscle and middle cricothyroid ligament.
Ventral view, everything removed revealing cricothyroid, sternothyroid and thyrohyoid muscles.
Part of thyroarytenoid muscle and most of vocal ligament can be seen in relation to vocal process of arytenoid cartilage.

Each RLN innervates all muscles except for the cricothyroid, which is innervated by the SLN.
The vocal cords are positioned near the midline by isotonic tensing of the cricothyroid muscles.
Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve a.supplies motor innervation to all the intrinsic muscles of the larynx on the same side except for cricothyroid, and to the interarytenoid muscle of both sides.

 Neck lecture notes
Tension is affected by the vocalis and cricothyroid muscles.
Its sensory innervation is by the recurrent laryngeal nerves (mixed-motor to all laryngeal muscles except for the cricothyroid muscle) which pierced the cricothyroid membrane.
The thickened midline portion of this membrane is the median cricothyroid ligament (Clemente plate 558 fig.

The CRICOTHYROID MUSCLES (illustrated in Figure 5) are the muscles primarily responsible for regulating the tension of the vocal cords.
Exception: The CRICOTHYROID MUSCLE, which receives its innervation via the EXTERNAL LARYNGEAL NERVE.

Beyond this site, the cancer can invade the cricothyroid muscle and the ipsilateral thyroid lobe.
Cricothyroid ligament: This ligament is the anterior condensation of the conus elasticus connecting the cricoid and inferior border of the thyroid cartilage.
The anterior condensation of the conus elasticus is the cricothyroid ligament, and the superior condensations bilaterally are the vocal ligaments.

The laryngeal muscle most responsible for stretching (elongating) the vocal ligament is the :
Any manipulation of the superior thyroid artery must be undertaken with care not to damage its small companion nerve, the:
Upon examination it was determined that the area of the piriform recess above the vocal fold of the larynx was numb.

Deep to the cricothyroid muscle is a thick elastic membrane, the conus elasticus; note its median cricothyroid ligament.
Extend this incision posteriorly, severing all neck muscles posterior to the mastoid process.
Clean and identify the muscles of the pharynx and pharyngeal plexus.

External Laryngeal nerve ‑ motor (SVE) to cricothyroid muscle.
Extrinsic muscles of larynx &; move entire larynx, active during swallowing; suprahyoid muscles elevate larynx, infrahyoid muscles depress larynx.
Closing rima glottidis ‑ When vocal ligaments are pressed tightly together the rima glottidis is closed; this prevents upward movement of the diaphragm when the abdominal muscles contract; contraction of the abdominal muscles therefore increases pressure in the abdomino‑pelvic cavity; this is useful in childbirth, micturition, defecation, etc.

 Encyclopedia: List of anatomical topics
The cricothyroid muscle attaches to the anterolateral aspect of the cricoid and the inferior cornu and lower lamina of the thyroid cartilage, tilting the thyroid forwards and lengthening the vocal cords.
The cricothyroid ligament is the larger part of the laryngeal membrane, continuing inferiorly as a median or anterior part and twin lateral ligaments.
The anterior cerebral artery supplies oxygen to most medial portions of frontal lobes and superior medial parietal lobes.
