Larynx Orientation:
Located between the hyoid bone and the trachea and in front of the esophagus
Skeletopy: C4-5 to C6-7
Function of the Larynx:
 ○ Air Passage
 ○ Produces sound through Phonation

Cartilage of the Larynx:
3 Unpaired Cartilages
 ○ Epiglottis
 ○ Thyroid Cartilage
 ○ Cricoid Cartilage
3 Paired Cartilages
 ○ Arytenoid Cartilage
 ○ Corniculate Cartilage
 ○ Cuneiform Cartilage

Thyroid Cartilage (Cartilago Thyroidea):
Right Lamina (Lamina Dextra)
Left Lamina (Lamina Sinistra)
Laryngeal Prominence (Prominentia Laryngea)
 ○ Adam's Apple
Superior Horn (Cornua Superiora)
Inferior Horn (Cornua Inferiora)

Cricoid Cartilage (Cartilago Cricoidea):
Arch (Arcus)
Plate (Lamina)
Arytenoid Articular Surface (Facies Articularis Arytenoidea)
Thyroid Articular Surface (Facies Articularis Thyroidea)

Epiglottis:
Lies behind the cartilage and hyoid bone
Attached to the thyroid cartilage
Function: Closing off for the respiratory system when you swallow and open up the respiratory pathway when you breath

Arytenoid Cartilages (Cartilago Arytenoidea):
Triangular Shape: Apex and Base
Anterior Process: Vocal Process (Processus Vocalis)
Posterior Process: Muscular Process (Processus Muscularis)
Criocoid Articular Surface (Facies Articularis Cricoidea)

Corniculate Cartilage (Cartilago Corniculata):
Lies on top of the arytenoid cartilage
Serves as an attachment point for muscles

Cuneiform Cartilages (Cartilago Cuneiforme):
Aryepiglottic Fold
Cuneiform Tubercle (Tuberculum Cuneiforme )

Laryngeal Ligaments and Laryngeal Joints:
Connections in the Larynx (Juncturae Laryngis):
Continous Articulation (Synarthroses)
 ○ Cartilaginous (Synchondroses)
 ○ Fibrous (Syndesmoses)
Discontinuous Articulation (Synovial)
 ○ Synovial Articulation (Articulatio)

Continous Articulation (Synarthroses)
Cartilaginous (Synchondroses)
 ○ Between the Corniculate Cartilage and Apex of Arytenoid Cartilage
Fibrous (Syndesmoses)
 ○ Thyrohyoid Membrane (Membrana Thyrohyoid)
 ○ Cricothyroid Membrane (Membrana Cricothyroidea)
 ○ Cricotracheal Ligament (Ligamentum Cricotracheale)
 ○ Thyroepiglottic Ligament (Ligamentum Thyroepiglottica)
 ○ Hyoepiglottic Ligament (Ligamentum Hyoepiglotticum)

Discontinuous Articulation (Synovial)
Synovial Articulation (Articulatio)
 ○ Cricothyroid Articulation (articulatio cricothyroidea)
 ○ Cricoarytenoid Articulation (articulatio cricoarytenoidea)

Laryngeal Wall
Tunica Mucosa
 ○ Vestibular Fold (Lines by Respiratory Epithelium)
 ○ Vocal Fold (Lined by Stratified Squamous Epithelium)
 ○ Contain Laryngeal Glands and Lymph Nodules
Tela Submucosa
 ○ Fibroelastic Membrane (Membrana Fibroelastica Laryngis)
  § Quadrangular Membrane (membrana quadrangularis) form vestibular ligament
  § Lateral Cricothyroid Ligament (Conus Elasticus) has a free margin forming the vocal ligament, which is a part of the vocal folds
Muscles (And cartilage):
 ○ Muscles that open and narrow the laryngeal inlet (entrance)
 ○ Muscles that open and narrow the Rima Glottidis
 ○ Muscles that act on the vocal cord
  § Tenses Vocal Cord (Cricothyroid Muscle)
  § Decrease Tension of vocal cord (Vocalis Muscle)
Tunica Adventitia
 ○ Tough connective tissue consisting mainly of dense collagen fibers

Laryngeal Cavity:
Laryngeal Vestibule (Vestibulum Laryngis)
Glottis
 ○ Rima Glottidis
  § Anterior 3/5 is inter-membranous part
  § Posterior 2/5 is intercartilagineous part
  § Phonation: Vocal folds rub into each other
 ○ Laryngeal Ventricles (Ventriculus Laryngis)
Infraglottic Cavity
