The epiglottis is the small triangular cartilage that closes the glottis when food passes into the esophagus (Fig. 56). The thyroid cartilage constitutes the largest part of the larynx. In man it forms the prominence known as Adam's apple. Dorsally the two halves of the thyroid cartilage are separated, each projecting craniad into a process known as a cornu. The arytenoid cartilages are the two small paired pieces caudad to the thyroid, on the dorsal side. The cricoid cartilage forms a complete ring at the caudal end of the larynx (Fig. 20). There are a number of ligaments connecting the various parts of the larynx, the most important of which are the. "ivsties'* ' rc Fig. 82.
