Plicae aryepiglotticae. At both sides of theepiglottis runs the piriform fossa (32), Re-cessus piriformis. In the middle storey of theMorgagni's ventricle and the false vocal li-

The vocal cord(viz 28), Lig. vocale, is an elastic cord withmembranous covering and with the vocalmuscle (29), M. vocalis.The muscular motion apparatus of the la-rynx has its task in the voice generationand in the protective function of the airpassage (swallowing).
The functions of the individual larynxmuscles:
1. Opening of the rima glottis:Posterior cricoid cartilage - arytenoidcartilage muscle (17), M.cricoarytenoideus posterior
2. Closing of the true glottis:Transverse arytenoid muscle (18),Af. arytenoideus transversus, obliquearytenoid muscle (19), At.arytenoideus obliquus, as well as thenot depicted lateral crico - arytenoidmuscle, M. cricoarytenoideus lateralis.
3. Movement of the vocal cord:Vocal muscle (29), M. vocalis
4. Tightening of the vocal cord:Crico-thyroid muscle (16), M.cricothyroideus
The nervous provision of the larynx isthrough the branches of the vagus nerve,the superior laryngeal nerve (22), N. laryn-geus superior. The superior laryngeal artery(21), A. laryngea superior and the superiorthyroid artery (20), A. thyroidea superior,are educed from the arterial vascular sys-tem.
