The thyroid cartilages rest upon another, termed the cricoid (c); this has the form of a ring, much deeper behind than in front, and surmounts the trachea, \di\\ the upper ring of which its lower edge is con- nected by a membrane. Upon the upjier surface of the back of the cricoid cartilage, where there is an open space left between the two thyroid cartilages, are mounted two small cartilaginous bodies, the arytenoid [ar, fig. 2Q2). These are movable to a certain extent; and their position may be changed in various directions by several nmscles which act upon 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 Carpenter, William Benjamin, 1813-1885.
