Posterior cricoarytenoid muscle

Thyroid cartilage

Cricoid cartilage

Cricothyroid muscle

Corniculate cartilage

Hyoid bone

Lateral cricoarytenoid muscle

Epiglottis

Originates along the arch of the cricoid cartilage and inserts into the lower margin of the thyroid cartilage, pulling downward and forward on the thyroid cartilage to lengthen the vocal folds

Shaped like a fan, originates along the arch of the cricoid cartilage and inserts into the muscular process of the arytenoids, causing the vocal folds to adduct on contraction

Two types of fibers, transverse fibers and oblique fibers, following two courses to originate from one arytenoid cartilage and insert in the opposite arytenoid cartilage

Leaf-shaped, superior part of larynx, located posterior to the hyoid bone and base of tongue

Paired and mounted on the top of the arytenoid cartilages

Paired and small, rod-shaped elastic cartilages found within the aryepiglottic fold

Serves to shorten the vocal folds when it contracts, originating on the inner surface of the thyroid cartilage and inserting into the muscular process of the arytenoid cartilage

Originates on the posterior surface of the cricoid and courses up and forward to insert into the muscular process of the arytenoids, abducting the vocal folds when contracting
