Which of the following is true?
The tensor tympani assists in preventing damage to the internal ear when one hears loud noises by pulling the handle of the malleus medially, thereby tensing the tympanic membrane and reducing the amplitude of its oscillations

The suprahyoid muscles are the mylohyoid, geniohyoid, stylohyoid, and digastric muscles
Which of the following is innervated by the trigeminal nerve?
The mylohyoid and anterior belly of the digastric are innervated by the trigeminal nerve
Which of the following is NOT an anterior vertebral muscle?
The anterior vertebral muscles are the longus colli, longus capitis, rectus capitis anterior, and rectus capitis lateralis
Of the following, which is innervated by the dorsal rami?
The only lateral vertebral muscle that is innervated by dorsal rami is the splenius capitis
Which of the following NEVER exists?
There is NOT a middle thyroid artery, but there is a middle thyroid vein
Advertisement
Which of the following contains PAIRED laryngeal cartilages?
Arytenoids, corniculate, and cuneiform cartilages are paired, whereas the thyroid, cricoid, and epiglottic are single
Which of the following is the primary tensor of the vocal fold?
The cricothyroid stretches and tenses the vocal fold
Which of the following abducts the vocal fold?
The posterior cricoarytenoid abducts the vocal fold
