3D anatomy tutorial on the cartilages of the larynx from AnatomyZone
For more videos, 3D models and notes visit: anatomyzone.com
This video is the first part in a series of tutorials on laryngeal anatomy. This can often seem like a complex topic, but my aim with these videos to to break down that complexity and demonstrate the anatomy in 3D to help you understand remember the relevant anatomy.
This tutorial we review the following structures:
- location of the larynx and basic function, relationship to the hyoid bone, trachea, oesophagus
- thyroid cartilage, thryohyoid membrane, thyrohyoid muscle
- oblique line and muscle attachments: thyrhyoid, sternothyroid, inferior constrictor
- superior and inferior thyroid notches, superior and inferior thyroid horns
- epiglottis, thyroepiglottic ligament
- cricoid cartilage and attachment sites for posterior cricoarytenoid muscles
- arytenoid cartilage
- corniculate cartilage
- posterior and lateral cricoarytenoid muscles
- vocal process, vocal ligaments, vocalis muscle, vestibular ligament
- cuneiform cartilages
