TRUE OR FALSE: The hyoid bone is a part of the larynx.
FALSE

Superior Cornua
The Musculo-cartilaginous structure that is located superiorly to the trachea and houses the vocal folds.
The Larynx
The thyroid had 2 big plates that are known as _______.
The thyroid lamina
The primary function of this structure is to help rock the arytenoids in and out
Cricoarytenoid joint
This structure allows for pitch adjustment
Cricothyroid joint
What structure is directly inferior to the larynx?
Trachea
When the vocalic muscle tenses, this structure rotates
Arytenoids
The corniculates and cuneiforms are embedded within these.
The aryepiglottic folds
The ligament that binds the epiglottis to the hyoid bone.
Hyoepiglottic ligament
This ligament serves to abduct and adduct the vocal folds.
The vocal ligaments
The membrane that terminates at ventricular ligaments and aryepiglottic folds.
