  2. Vestibular fold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibular_fold

    The vestibular fold (ventricular fold, superior or false vocal cord) is one of two thick folds of mucous membrane, each enclosing a narrow band of fibrous tissue, the vestibular ligament, which is attached in front to the angle of the thyroid cartilage immediately below the attachment of the epiglottis, and behind to the antero-lateral surface of the arytenoid cartilage, a short distance above ...

  3. Laryngeal vestibule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laryngeal_vestibule

    It contains the vestibular folds, and between these and the vocal folds are the laryngeal ventricles. [1] The vestibule is an opening in the lateral wall of the larynx, between the vestibular fold above and the vocal folds below. It is the inlet to another cavity in the lateral wall of larynx, the laryngeal ventricle.

  4. Vocal cords - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocal_cords

    The male's vocal folds are between 1.75 cm and 2.5 cm (approx 0.75" to 1.0") in length, [3] while females' vocal folds are between 1.25 cm and 1.75 cm (approx 0.5" to 0.75") in length. The vocal folds of children are much shorter than those of adult males and females.

  5. Quadrangular membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrangular_membrane

    The free inferior border forms the vestibular ligament [2] (which together with the overlying mucosa constitutes the vestibular fold). The lower fibres of the quadrangular ligament condense to form the false vocal cords or the vestibular fold, while the upper fibres of the cricovocal ligaments condense to form the true vocal cord.

  6. Rima vestibuli - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rima_vestibuli

    It is to the vestibular ligaments (vestibular folds once covered with mucous membrane) what the rima glottidis is to the vocal ligaments (vocal folds once covered with mucous membrane) – the space formed when the folds are separated. It can be defined as the space in between the false vocal cords, and allows air to pass through the larynx.

  7. Larynx - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larynx

    The vocal cords and the rima glottidis are together designated as the glottis. The laryngeal cavity above the vestibular folds is called the vestibule. The very middle portion of the cavity between the vestibular folds and the vocal cords is the ventricle of the larynx, or laryngeal ventricle.

  8. Superior laryngeal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_laryngeal_nerve

    The external branch functions to stretch the vocal cords by activating the cricothyroid muscle, increasing pitch. The external laryngeal nerve gives branches to pharyngeal plexus and the superior portion of the inferior pharyngeal constrictor, and communicates with the superior cardiac nerve behind the common carotid artery.
