The Larynx. 1  This is between the pharynx and the trachea. 2  Although it is part of the air passages, the larynx normally acts as a valve for preventing swallowed food and foreign bodies from entering the lower respiratory passages. 3  The larynx is the phonating mechanism that is specifically designed for voice production. The larynx is located in the anterior portion of the neck. In adult males it is about 5 cm in length and is related posteriorly to the bodies of C3 to C6 vertebrae.

1 The term glottis refers to the vocal folds, the rima glottidis, and the narrow part of the larynx at the level of the vocal folds. 2  The glottis is the part of the larynx most concerned with sound production. The shape of the rima glottidis varies according to the position of the vocal folds. During ordinary breathing, it is narrow and wedge-shaped; during forced respiration, it is wide.

The Skeleton of the Larynx. 1  The laryngeal skeleton comprises nine cartilages that are joined by various ligaments and membranes. 2  Three of the cartilages are single (thyroid, cricoid and epiglottis), and three are paired (arytenoid, corniculate, and cuneiform).

These folds extend between the thyroid and arytenoid cartilages and play little or no part in voice production. They consist of two thick folds of mucous membrane enclosing the vestibular ligaments. The space between the vestibular ligaments is called the rima vestibuli.

The posterior (signet) part of the cricoid is called the lamina and the anterior (band) part is termed the arch. Although it is much smaller than the thyroid cartilage, the cricoid is thicker and stronger. It is located at the level of C6 vertebra. It is the most inferior of the cartilages of the larynx. The cricoid forms the inferior parts of the anterior and lateral walls and most of the posterior wall of the larynx.
