Intrinsic Muscles of the Larynx - A is for Anatomy (Building the Basics)

Let's look at the larynx! This one specifically looks at the intrinsic muscles of the larynx - i.e. the muscles responsible for moving the vocal cords :) As ever: 1. Please DON'T try and watch the whole thing in one go, you'll just get bored. Use the time stamps to break it up into chunks. 2. Draw along with me! I don't have access to many resources (literally a guy working out of his living room) so the whiteboard may not be ideal... but I honestly believe that drawing/recreating anatomy badly is still 1000x better than passively staring at pictures to try and learn things properly. Be creative with your learning. 3. Never just rely on one source for learning anatomy (or anything, really) - use a couple to double-check/confirm what you're learning. Basically absolving me of any responsibility if I accidentally sabotage your education... but seriously, I really do try my best but I'm far from perfect, please use these videos alongside other anatomy resources :) Timestamps: Intro & Basics to build on - 00:00 The thyroid, cricoid and arytenoid cartilages - 04:10 The vocal cords - 12:20 Tensors and relaxors of the vocal cords (cricothyroid & thyroarytenoid) - 15:31 Vocalis - 22:26 Abductors and adductors of the vocal cords (posterior/lateral cricoarytenoid, transverse/oblique arytenoid) - 23:49 The innervation - Vagus, Superior laryngeal, Recurrent laryngeal nerves - 33:53 Wrap-up - 40:56 And please Like and Subscribe to the channel if you finds these valuable! @anatomy_andrew - Spread the word :) I hope this is helpful to some people.
