Laryngeal Cartilages

Rigid structures that provide structure and support to the larynx (voice box), facilitating speech and protecting the airway.

Arytenoid Cartilage

Corniculate Cartilage

Small, horn-shaped cartilages located at the top of the larynx that are involved in the production of sound and the protection of the vocal cords.
