From the side of the epiglottis the aryepiglottic foldsextend backward, on each side, to the arytenoid cartilage. The arytenoid cartilages {cartilagines arytenoidece), two in number,are small and articulate with the upper part of the cricoid has the form of a three-sided pyramid, having an apex, baseand three small surfaces. The apex is pointed and is in relation with,or may be articulated with, the corniculum laryngis. The base. 199.—The cartilages of the larynxfrom a dorsal view. THE LARYNX 275 articulates with the cricoid cartilage. Two of the basal angles areimportant. The lateral angle, or muscular process, gives attachmentto the cricoartenoideus posterior muscle. The ventral angle, orvocal process, gives attachment to the inferior thyreoarytenoidligament, or the true vocal band. The dorsal surface gives attach-ment to the arytenoideus muscle. Upon the ventrolateral surfaceare attached the superior thyreoarytenoid ligament, or the falsevocal bands and the thyreoartenoideus muscle. The medial surfaceforms the lateral boundary of the respiratory glottis. The comicula larynges (cartilagines corniculatce) are two smallcone-shaped cartilages that surmount thearytenoid cartilages at the dorsal end of thearyepiglottic folds. The cuneiform cartilages {cartilaginescuneiformes) are two, long, flat structureslocated in the aryepiglottic fold. Ligaments.—The larynx is connected to thehyoid b
