sternothyroid muscle. vocal fold excursion is 6 msec, what is the time of medial
(inward) vocal fold excursion in msec? Explain.
2. The mylohyoid muscle is deep / superficial and inferior /
superior to the geniohyoid muscle.

ii. __________________________

iii. __________________________

5. The endoscopic examination revealed that patient YK
