Borders of the posterior triangle include the sternocleidomastoid muscle anteriorly, the occiput superiorly, the clavicle inferiorly, and the trapezius muscle posteriorly. (coek.info)
The hyperechoic sublingual gland is elongated and fills much of the lateral floor of mouth extending posteriorly from the submandibular gland toward the mental symphysis anteriorly.2 An abnormally dilated submandibular duct is easily seen sonographically in the floor of the mouth, but a normal duct is less evident. (coek.info)
Its inferior margin is attached to the thyroid cartilage anteriorly, and the superior part of the epiglottis projects superiorly as a free flap toward the tongue. (brainkart.com)

The classic supraglottic laryngectomy extends through the vallecula superiorly, the aryepiglottic folds posteriorly, the apex of the ventricle inferiorly, and the thyroid cartilage anteriorly. (medscape.com)
Injury to the larynx may range from simple mucosal tears to fractured and comminuted cartilage. (medscape.com)
The larynx is a complex mucosal-lined structure composed of 9 distinct cartilage components connected by membranes, ligaments, and muscles, which separate the pharynx from the trachea (see the following images). (medscape.com)
Development of the larynx begins during the fifth week of gestation, as mesodermal condensations called arytenoid swellings begin to form within the sixth arch. (medscape.com)
The trachea (windpipe) is the airway, a tube made up of cartilage (the firm tissue in the ear) which starts just below the larynx (voice box) and continues down behind the breastbone then splits into two smaller tubes, called bronchi, which lead to each lung. (craftwithmagic.nl)
The elevation of the tongue, hyoid bone, and larynx simultaneously causes the elevation of the epiglottis and the superior aperture of the larynx, which is closed by the approximation of the arytenoid cartilages and the combined action of laryngeal muscles (arytenoideus, thyreoarytenoideus, and thyreoepiglotticus). (co.ma)
The larynx consists of an outer casing of nine cartilages connected to one another by muscles and ligaments (figure 15.3). (brainkart.com)
Traditionally, wire sutures have been used to immobilize reduced laryngeal cartilage fractures. (medscape.com)
The laryngeal saccules are tubular extensions of each ventricle anterosuperiorly between the vestibular fold and the thyroid cartilage. (medscape.com)
Synonyms: Cartilago thyreoidea This is the largest of the laryngeal cartilages and it is made of two smooth laminae of which the two lower thirds fuse in the midline, while the most superior third remains unfused and creates the laryngeal notch. (columbia.edu)
Ligaments1
The trachea is a tube-shaped structure consisting of 15-20 D-shaped cartilage rings anterolaterally bridged by annular ligaments. (radiopaedia.org)
Lateral3
In contrast to the other branchial arch derivatives, the cartilages of the fourth and sixth arches develop from the lateral plate mesoderm rather than the neural crest of the midbrain and hindbrain. (medscape.com)
The quadrangular membrane extends between the lateral aspects of the epiglottis and the anterolateral surface of the arytenoid cartilages on the each side. (medscape.com)
This sound is caused bu friction between the cartilages such as the lower lateral cartilage and the upper lateral cartilages. (craftwithmagic.nl)
Hyaline cartilage1
It differs from the other cartilages in that it consists of elastic cartilage rather than hyaline cartilage. (brainkart.com)
Hyoid bone1
the tongue, hyoid bone, and thyreoid cartilage are successively raised upwards by the action of the muscles which close the mouth and elevate the hyoid bone. (co.ma)
Anterior1
Projecting from the anterior point of the arytenoid cartilages are dense condensations of avascular connective tissue that form the true vocal cords. (paediatricemergencies.com)
Connective tissue1
It comprises of numerous separate cartilages held together with connective tissue. (paediatricemergencies.com)
Epiglottis2
It is a complex structure that consists of various components, including the vocal cords, the epiglottis, and the arytenoid cartilages. (columbia.edu)
When we speak, the arytenoid cartilages move the vocal cords closer together, allowing them to vibrate and produce sound. (columbia.edu)
Walls1
In the closing stage, the tongue is drawn posteriorly due to the close apposition of the glottis walls and linguolaryngeal cleft walls and hyoglossal sling contractions. (redpepperdev.com)
Encircles1
The trachealis muscle (smooth muscle) encircles the trachea completely but is most prominent posteriorly due to the lack of cartilage 4 . (radiopaedia.org)
Pairs1
Three of the nine cartilages are unpaired, and six of them form three pairs. (brainkart.com)
Swellings1
Note the early contact at the bilateral swellings (right greater than left), and the MTD posturing (separation of vocal process "grey" zone posteriorly). (laryngopedia.com)
It is separated posteriorly from the scalenus medius by the roots of the brachial plexus, the subclavian artery, and the pleura, and it is concealed by the sternomastoid muscle. (co.ma)
Result1
Currently, clinical treatments have limited ability to repair, for they often result in the formation of mechanically inferior cartilage. (craftwithmagic.nl)
