The intrinsic muscles of the larynx are innervated by what nerve?
|
Inferior laryngeal branch of the recurrent branch of the vagus nerve. (note: Cricothyroid is an exception… it is innervated by the external laryngeal branch)
|
|
All laryngeal sensation down to the level of the rima glottidis (vocal fold) is provided by what nerve?

Adduct (raise the voice)
|
|
The transverse arytenoid adducts or abducts the arytenoids?
