lower part of the pharynx, just below the oropharyngeal opening into the larynx and esophagus
AT the base it splits into two lumens (a channel within a tube) the larynx anteriorly and the
esophagus posteriorly - answer laryngopharynx
Laryngeal muscles contract to cause downward movement of the epiglottis and upward
movement of the glottis. Combined with the closure of the vocal cords - answer Swallowing
Hyoid bone, thyrohyoid ligament, larybgeal, thyroid cartilage, cricothyroid menbrane, cricoid
cartilage and the trachea - answer Larynx
narrowest portion of the adult trachea - answer glottic opening
hollow pockets on the lateral sides of the glottic opening. Airway devices may get trapped into
these hollow pockets during insertion resulting in tenting - answer piriform fossa
Hollow, U-shaped depression just above the sterum, in between clavicles. May also be called
the juglar notch - answer suprasternal notch
Fourth cervical vertebra and the xiphoid process - answer Lower Airway boundaries
Located externally at the level of the jugular notch at the top of the manubrium - answer Carina
