Larynx & Thyroid Blood Supply
The Larynx & Thyroid Blood supply brought to you by @rev.med! The larynx is located in the anterior neck and is supspended by the hyoid bone! Following it down, it continues into the Trachea. @rev.med Larynx Blood Supply: The Superior Laryngeal artery - coming off the superior thyroid artery which comes off the external carotid (common carotid). Inferior Laryngeal artery - coming off the inferior thyroid artery which comes off the thyrocervical trunk! Important to note here is that it travels with the recurrent laryngeal nerve into the larynx! (nerve diagram soon) Thyroid Blood Supply: The Superior Thyroid artery - the first branch of the external carotid artery. The Inferior Thyroid artery - from the thyrocervical trunk which comes off the subclavian artery. @rev.med Get a feel for all the arteries in this area and which path they travel, cross reference this with the nerve diagram (coming soon).
