31. The injection of dye into the inferior thyroid artery can be used as an alternate method in identification the recurrent laryngeal nerve . 32. By comparison with the recurrent laryngeal nerves , the superior laryngeal nerve takes a more direct route on the way to the cricothyroid muscles. 33. Instead, they are innervated by the recurrent laryngeal nerve and the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve, branches of the vagus .. 34. By comparison with the recurrent laryngeal nerves, the superior laryngeal nerve takes a more direct route on the way to the cricothyroid muscles. 35. Instead, they are innervated by the recurrent laryngeal nerve and the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve , branches of the vagus .. 36. Most commonly associated nerve is the vagus nerve ( 10th cranial nerve ) or in some cases its distal branch, the recurrent laryngeal nerve . 37. Because the aorta is inferior to the subclavian artery, the left recurrent laryngeal nerve is a bit longer than the right recurrent laryngeal nerve. 38. A specific risk of open surgical repair of double aortic arch is injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve , which can cause vocal cord paralysis. 39. Because the aorta is inferior to the subclavian artery, the left recurrent laryngeal nerve is a bit longer than the right recurrent laryngeal nerve . 40. Its innervation is by the recurrent laryngeal nerve ( from vagus ) just like all the intrinsic muscles of the larynx except the cricothyroid muscle.
