The inferioi' carnu^ is short and curved, and receives the lateral crico-thyroid ligament. Upon the external surface^ is an oblique ridge, passing between two tubercles, from which arise the thyreo-hyoid and inferior constrictor muscles. The cricoid cartilage is next in size, and situated at the base of the larynx; its form is that of a thick ring compressed laterally ; its lower edge^ is circular, and attached to the trachea; its upper edge is oval and oblique, on account of the cartilage being three times as thick behind as it is in front; the posterior portion of the superior edge has two heads* of a peculiar convexity, for articulating with the arytenoid cartilages; the external surface posteriorly is flattened, giving origin to the posterior crico-arytenoid muscle.
