Cartilages:
The larynx is composed ofseveral irregularly shaped cartilage, which is held together by ligaments and membranes.
The primary cartilages are:
1thyroid cartilage, 2. Icricoid cartilage,
3. 2arytenoid cartilages, 4. 1epiglottis.
. Thyroid cartilage:This cartilage is also called hyaline cartilage, which is lined with non-keratinized stratified
Squamous epithelium. It attached with hyoid bone, which is ashield shaped structure and protruded in front of
Deck called Adam'a apple, which is more prominent in males. This cartilage is articulated with ring like cricotd

3. Arytenoid Cartilage: It is a pair of small pyramidal cartilage which join with the cricoid cartilage. The vocal
and several muscles are attached to them, the movement in the muscles produces tension and relaxation in the
vocal cords and there by which produces the variety of sound pitches.
4. Epiglottis: It is an elastic cartilaginous lid-like structure situated at the root of thetongue. Posteriorly at the end of
this cartilage folds close to the glottis to prevent the food particles enter into the larynx during the act of swallowing,
coughing, or sneezing, thereby which prevents the aspiration. This moment is controlled by Autonomic Nervous
System.
Glottis: It is the opening between the vocal cords in the upper part of the larynx and the sound generator of the
larynx; it is protected by the epiglottis.

Interior of the larynx:


Vestibular folds:
* These are the pair ridges of the folds. The mucous membrane is lined all over the
laryngeal cavity. These folds
begin from the angle of the thyroid cartilage to the arytenoid cartilage. There is an enclosed space called
pseudoglottis, which protects the vocal folds from inhaling food material.
These folds are useful for the closure of the glottisduring swallowing or cough or sneeze. They
are also caod

MUSCLES OF LARYNX
a. Intrinsic Muscles: They are involved in the movements of the vocal cords and hence, associated with the
production of voice. They are:
Cricothyroid Thyroarytenoideus or thyroarytenoid
Vocalis * Posterior cricoarytenoid the only abductor of vocal cords
* Lateral cricoarytenoid Transverse arytenoid
* Oblique arytenoid Aryepiglotticus
Thyroepiglotticus.
b. Extrinsic Muscles:The extrinsic muscles include the digastric, the stylohyoid, the mylohyoid and the geniohyoid
muscles.

Blood, Nerve Supply, Lymph Drainage:


Arterial blood supply:
Superior thyroid artery is responsible to supply the blood to the laryngeal glands, muscles, and mucous membrane.
Inferior laryngeal artery is responsible to supply the blood to the larynx, which nornmally originates from thyrocervical
trunk.
Venous supply:
Superior laryngeal vein empties into the superior thyroid veins, which then drain into the internal jugular vein.
* Inferior laryngeal vein empties into the left brachiocephalic vein, through the inferior thyroid veins.
Lymphatic Drainage: The lymphatics into superior thyroid vessels, prelaryngeal and pretracheal nodes.
Nerve Supply: The mucosa above the vocal cords is supplied by the interlaryngeal nerve; below the vocal cords by
recurrent laryngeal nerve.
Application and Nursing care
Nurses provide care tothe patients with some of the following laryngeal disease conditions;
Laryngitis: It occurs due to the inflammation to vocal cards. It is caused by excessive use of the voice,
infections, inhaled irritants etc.
Vocal nodules: These nodules are the noncancerous nodules, usually occur on the vocal cords. These
nodules are caused when the vocal is abused, especially in case of professional singers as they do frequent
modulation in their voice. These Vocal nodules cause the voice hoarse, low, and breathy.
Vocal polyp: Vocal polyp is the noncancerous growth occur on vocal cord. These polyps cause the cause
the voice hoarse, low, and breathy

The respiratory system are nose, nasopharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs.
The nasal cavity is the main route of air entry and consists of large irregular cavity divided into equal
passage by a septum.
The nose is lined with ciliated columnar epithelium which consists of mucus secreting goblet cells.
The two openings into the nasal cavity, anterior nares and posterior nares.
The pharynx isl2 to 14 cm long extends from base of skull to the level of 6h cervical vertebra. It is
divided into three parts nasopharynx, laryngopharynx, oropharynx.
The walls of the pharynx contains several layers of tissue i.e. mucous membrane lining submucosaand
smooth muscle blood supply is by facial artery and venous drainage by internal jugular veins.
Larynx is also called voice box and lies at the level of 3rd 4h and 5h and 6h cervical vertebra. It is made
up of cartilages, they are cricoid, arytenoid, cuneiform, thyroid and epiglottis.
Blood supply to the larynx is by superior and inferior laryngeal arteries.
The trachea is of llcm long and also called wind pipe and it is present in front of the esophagus.
It is composed of 3 layers of tissue, middle layer and inner epithelium, blood supply is by inferior
thyroid arteries.
Human trachea divides into two right primary bronchus, and left primary bronchus at the level of the
sternal angle and of the fifth thoracia vertebrae.
The segmental bronchi divided into many primary bronchioles which divided further into terminal
bronchioles.
Lungs are lying on each side of thémidline in the thoracic cavity. They are cone shaped and have an
apex and base.
Apex is blunt and extends into the root of neck base and is semilunar in shape and lies on the diaphragm.
It has tw0 Surfaces; one is costal surface which is attached to the ribs, other one is medial surface in
which hilum is present.
Hilum is triangular shaped into whieh the pulmonary arteries, pulmonary veins, bronchial arteries,
bronchi enter and leave the hilum.
Pleura is a closed sac of serous membrane which contains small amount of serous fluid. The pleura
consist of two layers, the visceral pleura which is adherent to the Iungs. The perital pleura which is
adherent to the chest wall.
The pleural cavity is a potential space which contains pleural fluid which prevents friction during
breathing.
