  1. 2. Number of pockets in the pharynx
  2. 4. A bony process from the skull used as an insertion point for both a lingual and hyoid muscle

  5. 11. The "pars" of the cricothyroid that is more straight
  6. 15. Type of consonants that posterior cricoarytenoids contract for
  7. 16. The paired folds that create channels for the bolus to split and travel around the larynx
  8. 20. Paired bones of the skull that form that majority of the hard palate
  9. 22. Muscles that attach to the hyoid and a structure superior to it
  10. 23. Suprahyoid muscle that has an anterior and posterior belly
  11. 25. Physiological action of the longitudinal pharyngeal muscles
  12. 26. Pharyngeal constrictor muscle that attaches to the greater horns of the hyoid bilaterally
