| superior laryngeal cavity | The upper part of the laryngeal cavity from the superior aperture to the vestibular folds, bounded anteriorly by the epiglottis, laterally by themucosa overlying the quadrangular membranes and posteriorly by the mucosa overlying the arytenoid cartilages and arytenoideus muscle. Synonym: vestibulum laryngis, atrium glottidis, superior laryngeal cavity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior laryngeal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the vagus nerve at the inferior ganglion; at the thyroid cartilage it divides into two branches; the internal laryngeal nerve, a sensory branch which supplies the mucous membrane of the larynx superior to the vocal folds, and the external laryngeal nerve, a motor branch which supplies the inferior pharyngeal constrictor and the cricothyroid muscle. Synonym: nervus laryngeus superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
