A 39-year-old woman, is scheduled for a thyroidectomy for her previously diagnosed Grave’s disease. She is eligible for surgery as medical treatment options have failed to control her symptoms and she is the sole guardian for her young children, so radioiodine treatment is unsuitable. While gaining her consent for the surgery, she is told of possible complications of thyroidectomy, which include damage to the sensory branch of the superior laryngeal nerve. What is the name of the sensory nerve that arises from the superior laryngeal nerve?
