The larynx is composed of three large, unpaired cartilages (cricoid, thyroid, and epiglottis); three pairs of smaller cartilages (arytenoids, corniculate, and cuneiform); and a number of intrinsic muscles (see the image and video below), which control various functions, including vocal fold ...
These muscles produce the movements of the larynx and its cartilages, thus enabling the proper air conduction, speech, movements of the epiglottis and airways protection. The muscles of the larynx are divided into two groups: Extrinsic muscles, which produce the movements of the hyoid bone. ...
