This artery branches from the superior thyroid artery near its bifurcation from the external carotid artery. Together with the internal laryngeal nerve , it pierces the lateral thyrohyoid membrane , and supplies blood to the muscles, mucous membrane , and glands of the larynx , connecting with the branch from the opposite side.
The arteries of the sixth arch persist as the ductus arteriosus on the left, and are obliterated on the right. [10]: 318–323 After birth, the ductus arteriosus regresses to form the ligamentum arteriosum. During growth, these arteries descend into their ultimate positions in the chest, creating the elongated recurrent paths. [10]: 318–323
Inferior laryngeal artery. The inferior laryngeal artery - accompanied by the recurrent laryngeal nerve - passes superior-ward upon the trachea [1] deep to the inferior pharyngeal constrictor muscle to reach the posterior surface of the larynx. [citation needed] At the inferior border of the inferior pharyngeal constrictor muscle, the artery ...

The flap of cartilage called the epiglottis stops food from entering the larynx. In humans, the pharynx is part of the digestive system and the conducting zone of the respiratory system . (The conducting zone—which also includes the nostrils of the nose , the larynx , trachea , bronchi , and bronchioles —filters, warms and moistens air and ...
It is separated from the hyoid bone by a mucous bursa, which allows for the upward movement of the larynx during swallowing. [1] Its middle thicker part is termed the median thyrohyoid ligament. [1] Its lateral thinner portions are pierced by the superior laryngeal vessels and the internal branch of the superior laryngeal nerve. [1]
