Q3. Which muscle attaches to the posterior surface of the muscular process and abducts the vocal fold?
- Cricothyroid
- Vocalis
- Thyrohyoid
- Posterior cricoarytenoid
Q4. Which muscle attaches to the muscular process and rotates the arytenoid to adduct the vocal fold?
- Inferior constrictor
- Posterior cricoarytenoid
- Cricothyroid
- Lateral cricoarytenoid
Q5. Which muscles directly approximate the two arytenoid cartilages?
- Cricothyroid muscles
- Posterior cricoarytenoid muscles
- Transverse and oblique arytenoid muscles
- Thyrohyoid muscles
Q6. What type of joint is the cricoarytenoid joint?
- Primary cartilaginous joint
- Syndesmosis
- Fibrous suture
- Synovial joint
Q7. Which movements at the cricoarytenoid joints are most important for changing the glottic aperture?
- Circumduction without translation
- Rotation and gliding
- Flexion and extension only
- No movement occurs at this joint
Q8. Which part of the arytenoid participates most directly in the posterior boundary of the vocal fold?
- Muscular process
- Apex
- Posterior surface only
- Vocal process
Q9. How does posterior cricoarytenoid contraction move the vocal process?
- It moves the vocal process laterally
- It moves the vocal process superiorly without rotation
- It moves the vocal process medially
- It fixes the vocal process against the thyroid cartilage
Q10. How does lateral cricoarytenoid contraction move the vocal process?
- It moves the vocal process laterally
- It moves the vocal process medially
- It pulls the epiglottis forward
- It elevates the entire larynx
