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.
Of the nine cartilages all together, three of them are paired and bilaterally symmetrical, while three remain unpaired and specifically placed for accurate function. This article will highlight each cartilage and its most relevant facts, so the reader can gain insight into this complex and detailed anatomical marvel.
