It constitutes what was formerly described as the uppermost fibres of the thyreo-arytsenoideus externus muscle. Each thyreo-epiglotticns arises from the medial surface of the lamina of the thyreoid cartilage, immediately above the origin of the thyreo - arytaenoideus.

Each thyreo-epiglotticns arises from the medial surface of the lamina of the thyreoid cartilage, immediately above the origin of the thyreo - arytaenoideus. From this origin the fibres run in arches upwards and dorsally to be inserted partly into the margin of the ary- epiglottic fold, and partly into the lateral margin of the epiglottis, being inter- mingled with the fibres of the ary- epiglotticus. By its action the thyreo-epiglotticus widens the aditus and the vestibulum laryngis. Its innervation is derived from the ventral ramus of the inferior laryngeal nerve.
