Epiglottis the lateral hyo - thyreoid ligament, thyreoid cartilage The inferior cornu is shorter and stouter cricoid cartilage, than the superior cornu. As it pro- ceeds downwards it curves slightly towards the median plane, and upon the medial face of its extremity it shows a circular fiat facet, by means of which it articulates with a similar facet on the lateral aspect of the cricoid cartilage. The superior border of each lamina is for the most part slightly convex, and ventrally it dips suddenly to become continuous with the margin of the thyreoid notch. Dorsally, where it joins the superior cornu, it exhibits a shallow notch or concavity. The inferior border is almost straight, but it is marked off by a projection, termed the inferior thyreoid tubercle, into a short dorsal part, which shows a shallow concavity close to the inferior cornu and a longer part which lies ventral to the tubercle, and is also concave, but to a less degree. The lateral surface of each lamina is divided into two unequal areas by the linea obliqua. This line begins above at the superior thyreoid tubercle, a prominence situated immediately below the superior border, and a short distance ventral to the root of the superior cornu. From this the oblique line proceeds forwards and downwards to end in the inferior tubercle on the inferior border of the lamina. The area inferior tubercle which lies dorsal to the oblique line is much inferior comu of SInaller than that which lies on its ventral thvreoid cartilage . side. It is covered by the inferior constrictor The larser ventral Conns elasticus cricoid cartilage muscle of the pharynx. area is for the most part covered by the thyro- hyoid muscle. To the oblique line are attached the sterno-thyreoid and thyreo-hyoid muscles. The medial surface of the lamina of the thyreoid cartilage is smooth and slightly concave. Cartilago Cr
