Trachea. the lower part of its front surface, where it is attached to the tongue and hyoid by ligaments—that which connects it with the hyoid being elastic. It is connected on each side by a strong fold with (Fig. 107, fv) the side of the cricoid cartilage close to the base of the arytenoid cartilages. The two arytenoid cartilages rest each on one of the two oval articular surfaces before mentioned as situated one on each side of the median posterior notch, in the upper border of the cricoid cartilage. Each arytenoid cartilage is irregularly pyramidal in shape, the base of each pyramid resting on the cricoid. The summits of the arytenoid cartilages curve somewhat towards each other. A good many ligaments connect the different portions of the larynx. Thus there is the thyro-epiglottic and hyo-epiglottic con- necting the epiglottis with the thyroid and os hyoides Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Mivart, St. George Jackson, 1827-1900.
