Question

The nerve supply of the larynx above the level of the vocal cords is by

• A. Superior laryngeal nerve
• B. Recurrent laryngeal nerve
• C. Glossopharyngeal nerve
• D. External laryngeal nerve

Hint:

When studying anatomy or any complex topic, try breaking it down into smaller sections and using diagrams to visualize the structures and their functions. This can make it easier to understand and remember the material.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The larynx is innervated by branches of the vagus nerve (Cranial Nerve X). The nerve supply to the larynx can be divided based on the anatomical location of the structures involved.

Superior laryngeal nerve: This nerve branches off the vagus nerve and supplies the larynx above the level of the vocal cords
