The epiglottis is one of the three large unpaired laryngeal cartilages, the other two being the book shaped thyroid and the signet ring shaped cricoid cartilages. The thyroid notch is also termed the laryngeal prominence/Adamâs apple. There are also three paired cartilages i.e. the arytenoid, corniculate and cuneiform.
Preparations of the epiglottis are usually dominated by the cartilage surrounded by varying amounts of connective tissue and epithelia. The appearance of the cartilage (in this preparation a blue-green colour) will depend on the method used to show tissue components other than elastic fibres.
