adductorsapproximate the arytenoid cartilages and the vocal folds for phonation and for protective purposes - Transverse Interarytenoids, Lateral Cricoarytenoid (LCA), Oblique Interarytenoids
abductorsseparate the arytenoids and vocal folds for respiratory activities - Posterior cricoarytenoid
relaxersshorten and relax the vocal folds - Thyromuscularis
tensorselongate and tighten the vocal folds - Thyrovocalis, cricothyroid, pars recta, pars oblique
medial compressionis the force with which vocal folds are brought together to make sound
longitudial tensionthe degree of force stretching the vocal folds
Lateral Cricoarytenoid (LCA)main muscle of adduction, important in regulating medial compression, brings vocal processes down and in when it contracts
Transverse InterarytenoidsAid in medial compression -- helping you get loud
Oblique InterarytenoidsBetween the arytenoids running at an oblique angle - criss cross
Posterior Cricoarytenoid (PCA)Abduct the vocal folds - Lifts the arytenoids and vocal processes, up and out - have to engage to take a deep breath in - ONLY ABDUCTOR
Cricothyroid (CT)2 portions - pars oblique (pulls forward) & pars recta (erect, straight up and down) (pulls down) - effect together :stretch that cover (pull down and rock forward)
