A study of spontaneous and reflexly evoked activity of laryngeal abductor (posterior cricoarytenoid) and adductor (thyroarytenoid and lateral cricoarytenoid) muscles was carried out in cats anesthetized with chloraloseurethane or made decerebrate and supplemented with ketamine HCl. The posterior cricoarytenoid muscle was active largely during inspiration but showed tonic activity throughout the respiratory cycle; the thyroarytenoid and lateral cricoarytenoid muscles were rhythmically active during expiration. Anesthetic amounts of pentobarbital abolished adductor rhythmicity and enhanced cyclic inspiratory activity of the abductor muscle. Hyperventilation increased the tonic adductor muscle activity while diminishing abductor muscle activity prior to resolution of apnea. Glossopharyngeal (epipharyngeal branch) and superior laryngeal nerve stimulation evoked chiefly excitatory effects on adductors and largely and attenuating effect on the abductor during inspiration. Stimulation of caudal intercostal nerves caused similar effects but to a lesser degree. Peripheral phrenic nerve stimulation during inspiration facilitated reflex abductor muscle activity whereas such stimulation during expiration facilitated reflex adductor muscle activity. The collective evidence further supports the conclusion that the larynx has a dual function: that of a respiratory organ (widening of the glottis during inspiration and its narrowing during expiration) and of a guardian of the lower respiratory tract from invading foreign matter (reflex sphincter action of contracting adductor muscles with relaxation of the abductor).
