Q

What is the fate of the cranial laryngeal nerve?

A
  • Depressor branch
  • Split:
    • Internal branch → Larynx (Sensory)
    • External branch → Pharyngeal constrictors (Motor)

Q

At what point do the left and right recurrent laryngeal nerves loop back to the larynx?

A
  • Left: Arches around the aorta
  • Right: Right subclavian artery
17
Q

The function of the caudal/recurrent? laryngeal nerves

A
  • Motor:
    • All muscles of the larynx (excl. cricothyroid)
  • Sensory:
    • Caudal part of larynx
18
Q

The fate of the vagus dorsal and ventral branches in the mediastinum

A

Q

Where do the dorsal and ventral vagus trunks pass into the abdomen?

A

Via hiatus oesophagus
