A text-book on diseases of the ear, nose and throat . The hyoid. bone and larynx, with ligaments,seen from in front. (H. Allen.) a, lesser horn;b, fat beneath hyothyroid membrane; c, greathorn; d, lateral thyrohyoid ligament; e, crico-thyroid (deep portion) ; /, cricothyroid (superfi-cial portion); g, cricothyroid The same, seen from the side. (H. Allen.) a,capsular ligament. between the cricothyroid branchesof the superior thyroid lateral portions of the mem-brane become much thinner above, where they are continuous with theinferior thyro-arytenoid ligaments. Between each inferior cornu of the thyroid and adjoining side of thecricoid is a distinct joint with a capsular ligament lined with synovialmembrane. The axis of this joint passes transversely, so that the move-ment is practically one of pure rotation, though there may be a slightgliding forward and backward. Of the thyro-arj^tenoid ligaments there are two pairs,—superior andinferior. The former, consisting of a few delicate fibrous strands in the 582 DISEASES OF THE LARYNX. folds of mucosa, are known as the false vocal cords, or ventricular are attached in front to the angle between the al£e, just above itsmiddle, and close to the attachment of the epiglottis : behind, to the innerpart of the ridges on the ante
