Laryngeal Anatomy

3. structure made of elastic and collagenous fibers from the intermediate and deep layers of the lamina propria.
4. Structure in the larynx responsible for healthy phonation.
6. the space between the true vocal folds and the false vocal folds
8. infrahyoid muscle that connects to the sternum and hyoid bone
10. suprahyoid muscle that attaches to the mandible and hyoid bone
14. anatomical structure that provides attachment to the vocal ligament
17. The suprahyoid muscles _____ the larynx
19. the space between the true vocal folds
20. suprahyoid muscle that attaches to the styloid process and hyoid bone
21. signet ring-shaped cartilage that is inferior to the thyroid cartilage
22. muscle that abducts the vocal folds
25. infrahyoid muscle that connects to the sternum and thyroid cartilage
26. largest cartilage in the larynx

1. these are superior to the true vocal folds, aka ventricular folds
2. muscle responsible for decreasing pitch
5. The infrahyoid muscles _____ the larynx
7. muscle that adducts the vocal folds
9. muscle that assists in relaxation of the vocal folds
11. muscle responsible for raising pitch
12. infrahyoid muscle that connects to the scapula and hyoid bone
13. suprahyoid muscle with two bellies that helps elevate the hyoid during swallowing and speech
15. The anterior point where the vocal folds meet in the larynx
16. infrahyoid muscle that connects to the thyroid cartilage and hyoid bone
18. muscle that assists in adduction, decreases the length of the true vocal folds, and adds tension
23. made up of the transverse and oblique arytenoid muscles, assist in vocal fold adduction
24. suprahyoid muscle that attaches to the tongue and the hyoid bone
