The mucous membrane lining the laryngeal sacs is thickly studded with theopenings of numerous small follicular glands, situated in the sub-mucous con-nective tissue. The laryngeal surface of the sac is covered by the inferior por-tion of the aryteno-epiglottideus muscle (compressor sacculi laryngis of Hilton),which compresses it and discharges its secretions upon the vocal cords, help-ing to keep them moist and Laiyngoscopic Medication, New York, 1864, p. 23. 60 EXAMINATION OF THE THROAT AND NASAL PASSAGES. The floors of the ventricles are formed by the vocal cords,which in health are easily recognized by their rapid movementsduring plionation, and by their striking, semi-metallic lustre—at times an opalescent white in the female—at times tingedslightly yellowish in the male. Each so-called cord is a strong,thick, fibrous-looking band (the inferior thyro-arytenoid liga-ment), the sharp and prominent edge of which constitutes thevibrating medium of the voice. The vocal cord, at least its lower surface, is an extension inward of the vocalmembrane, or the middle crico-thyroid ligament. Each cord consists of a com-pact band of parallel fibres of the thyro-arytenoid muscle, and of elastic andfibrous tissue, arranged in prismatic form, the base pr
