They extendfrom below the cushion of the epiglottis, where they unite, at a 352 DISEASES OF THE NOSE AND THROAT. very acute angle, to the arytenoids, at which point they areeither close together (phonatory position) or far apart (respira-tory position), depending upon the location of the arytenoidsand their vocal processes. It will thus be seen that the respira-tory glottis is often triangular, with its apex anterior and itsrounded base (the inter-arytenoid space) posterior. The glottisis divided into an anterior (ligamentous) and posterior (carti-laginous)
