  2. Arytenoid cartilage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arytenoid_cartilage

    The posterior surface is triangular, smooth, concave, and gives attachment to the arytenoid muscle and transversus.. The antero-lateral surface is somewhat convex and rough. On it, near the apex of the cartilage, is a rounded elevation (colliculus) from which a ridge (crista arcuata) curves at first backward and then downward and forward to the vocal process.

  3. Contact granuloma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_granuloma

    Contact granulomas can be physically identified and diagnosed by observing the presence of proliferative tissue originating from the vocal process of the arytenoid cartilage. [5] Identification is carried out by laryngoscopy, which produces an image of the lesion in the form of an abnormal growth ( nodule or polyp ) or ulceration .

  4. Laryngeal paralysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laryngeal_paralysis

    Laryngeal paralysis in animals is a condition in which the nerves and muscles that control the movements of one or both arytenoid cartilages of the larynx cease to function, and instead of opening during aspiration and closing during swallowing, the arytenoids remain stationary in a somewhat neutral position. Specifically, the muscle that ...

  5. Vocal cord paresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocal_cord_paresis

    Vocal fold bowing, decreased vocal fold mobility, especially decreased mobility of the arytenoid cartilage, are often observed in vocal fold paresis. [4] [3] [5] Glottal insufficiency is another common symptom observed in vocal fold paresis. [3] [6] In this case, the vocal folds do not come together properly.

  6. Relapsing polychondritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relapsing_polychondritis

    Cartilage inflammation (technically known as chondritis) that is relapsing is very characteristic of the disease. [3] These recurrent episodes of inflammation over the course of the disease may result in breakdown and loss of cartilage. [3] The signs and symptoms of cartilage inflammation in various parts of the body will be described first.

  7. Vocal process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocal_process

    Just above the vocal process is a shallow depression, the oblong fovea of the arytenoid cartilage. Together they constitute the insertion for the vocalis muscle. [3] Vocal process granulomas are rare and benign lesions that occur in 0.9–2.7% of adults with a voice disorder. Most occurrences and forms of vocal process granulomas regress ...

  8. Cuneiform cartilages - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuneiform_cartilages

    In the human larynx, the cuneiform cartilages (from Latin: cuneus 'wedge' + forma 'form'; also known as cartilages of Wrisberg) are two small, elongated pieces of yellow elastic cartilage, placed one on either side, in the aryepiglottic fold. [1] The cuneiforms are paired cartilages that sit on top of and move with the arytenoids. [2]

  9. Aryepiglottic fold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryepiglottic_fold

    Behind, they are bounded by the apices of the arytenoid cartilages, the corniculate cartilages, and the interarytenoid notch. [2] Within the posterior part of each aryepiglottic fold exists a cuneiform cartilage which forms a whitish prominence, the cuneiform tubercle. [citation needed] The aryepiglottic folds contain the aryepiglottic muscles.
