Phonatory Muscles

Muscles of phonation

QuestionAnswer
Thyromuscularis (Thyroartyenoid) primarily serves as regulator of longitudinal tension, but can also act as a vocal fold adductor (Intrinsic Laryngeal Muscle, Relaxer)
Thyrovocalis (Thyroartyenoid) Primarily serves as a regulator of longitudinal tension, but can also act as a vocal fold adductor (Intrinsic Laryngeal Muscle,Tensor)
Superior Thyroarytenoid Tilts thyroid back to relax vocal folds; pulls muscular processes forward to aid in medial compression (Intrinsic Laryngeal muscles, auxiliary musculature)
posterior cricoarytenoid the only abductor laryngeal muscle (Intrinsic Laryngeal muscle, abductor)
lateral cricoarytenoid adducts the vocal folds; unopposed, will relax the folds (Intrinsic Laryngeal muscle, adductor)
oblique arytenoid approximate the arytenoids for medial compression (Intrinsic Laryngeal muscle, adductor, part of "interarytenoids)
Transverse Arytenoid approximate the arytenoids for medial compression (Intrinsic, adductor, "interarytenoids"
Cricothyroid with thyroid anchored, elevates cricoid; with cricoid anchored, depresses thyroid; increases distance between thyroid and cricoid to increase vocal fold tension
Digrasticus: Anterior Belly Elevates hyoid or depresses mandible (Extrinsic, Suprahyoid)
Digrasticus: Posterior Belly Elevates hyoid or depresses mandible (Extrinsic, suprahyoid)
Stylohyoid Elevates hyoid up and back (Extrinsic, suprahyoid)
Mylohyoid Elevates hyoid or depresses mandible (Extrinsic, suprahyoid)
Geniohyoid With mandible anchored, pulls hyoid up and forward (Extrinsic, suprahyoid)
Hyoglossus Extrinsic tongue muscle; may help position larynx (Extrinsic, suprahyoid)
Genioglossus Extrinsic tongue muscle; may help position larynx (Extrinsic, suprahyoid)
Thyrohyoid Depresses hyoid or elevates thyroid (Extrinsic, infrahyoid)
Sternohyoid Depresses hyoid; anchors hyoid when mandible is opened against resistance (Extrinsic, infrahyoid)
Omohyoid: Superior Belly Prevents neck region from collapsing during deep inhalation (Extrinsic, infrahyoid)
Ommohyoid: Inferior Belly Prevents neck region from collapsing during deep inhalation (Extrinsic, infrahyoid)
Sternothyoid Depresses thyroid cartilage (extrinsic, misc.)
Inferior Pharyngeal Constrictor Provide resonance characteristics to speech (extrinsic, misc.)

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
