Slit-like opening between the false vocal cords. | Rima vestibuli |
Fissure separating upper and middle lobes of the right lung. | Oblique horizontal |
A sharp mucosal covered ridge of the middle meatus. | Uncinate process |
Name given to parietal pleura over apex of lung. | Cupula |
Meatus into which the nasolacrimal duct drains. | Inferior meatus |
Hypertrophied lymphatic components on the roof of the nasopharynx. | Adenoids |
Internally correspond to alae of the nose; has sweat glands, sebaceous glands and hairs. | Vestibule |
Swelling in the middle meatus, marks the position of ethmoid air cells. | Ethmoid bulla |
Besides the aorta, list two structures which can pass through the aortic hiatus. | Thoracic duct, azygos vein |
What muscle of the larynx is an antagonist to the cricothyroid muscle? | Thyroarytenoid |
What muscle of the larynx extends from posterior surface of the cricoid lamina to the muscular process of the arytenoids cartilage? | Posterior cricoarytenoid |
Structure over which the mucosa of the larynx is reflected to form the vestibular fold. | Quadrangular membrane |
Slit-like opening between the true vocal cords. | Rima glottidis |
Define a bronchopulmonary segment. | Portion of a lung supplied with air from a tertiary bronchus and its branches. |
Left lung homologue of middle lobe of right lung. | Lingula |
Opening of ethmoidal infundibulum into the meatus. | Semilunar hiatus |
Specific structure responsible for forming the limen nasi. | Lower edge of the lateral nasal cartilage |
A structure which drains into the inferior meatus. | Nasolacrimal duct |

Name bony components forming the roof of the nasal cavity. | Nasal bone, frontal bone, cribriform plate of ethmoid, body of sphenoid |
Specific structure that supports the tracheal bifurcation. | Carina |
Give two components mentioned in lecture which form the lateral wall of the nasopharynx. | Ostia of auditory tubes, pharyngeal muscles |
Fissure separating upper and middle lobes of the right lung. | Horizontal fissure |
Name two structures related to the left side of the thoracic part of the trachea. | left recurrent laryngeal n., arch of the aorta, left common carotid a., left subclavian a. |
What muscle of the larynx lengthens and tightens the vocal cord, thus increasing pitch? | Cricothyroid |
What muscle of the larynx inserts on the muscular process of the arytenoid and rotates the cartilage medially, but does not pull the cartilage anteriorly? | Lateral cricoarytenoid |
Give the term for the space between the true and false vocal cords. | Ventricle |
Name given to mucosal reflection formed by the lower edge of the quadrangular membrane. | Vocal ford |
Structure which has a lateral and medial crus to hold open the nostrils. | Greater alar cartilage |
Into what meatus does the maxillary sinus drain? | Middle meatus via infundibulum |
Into what meatus does the frontal sinus drain? | Middle meatus via frontonasal duct and ethmoidal infundibulum |
A ridge within the nasal cavity separating stratified squamous from respiratory mucosa. | Limen nasi |
What muscle(s) of the larynx act(s) as a sphincter of the laryngeal inlet? | Oblique arytenoid and aryepiglottic muscles |
What muscle(s) of the larynx is/are not innervated by the recurrent laryngeal n.? | Cricothyroid |
