Be able to describe the laryngeal aditus and its relationship to the
laryngopharynx.
Be able to describe the major membranes and ligaments associated
with the larynx.
OBJECTIVES for the Larynx
Be able to describe the muscles associated with the larynx.
Be able to describe the laryngeal cavity.
Be able to describe the passage of air through the larynx.
Be able to relate the anatomy of the larynx to clinical situations.
OBJECTIVES for the Larynx

Cricothyroid Ligament
Emergency cricothyrotomies
are done here
A tracheotomy is usually
done by cutting through
the second or third
tracheal rings
A tracheostomy is a
permanent situation where
the tracheal mucosa is
brought into continuity with
the skin and they are sutured
together

Arytenoid Cartilage
Cricoid Cartilage
Synovial joint between
cricoid and thyroid cartilages
Tilting of cricoid cartilage on the
thyroid cartilage caused by the
cricothyroid m. grossly adjusts
the tension in the vocal ligament
The rotational movements of the
arytenoid cartilage caused by
intrinsic laryngeal mm. can finely
adjust the tension in the vocal
ligaments and change the space
(rima glottitis) between the vocal
cords
