The thyroid cartilages rest upon another, termed the cri- coid (c) ; this has the form of a ring, much deeper behind than in front, and surmounts the trachea, with the upper ring of which its lower edge is connected, by a membrane. Upon the upper 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. 247). These are movable to a certain extent; and their position.
