Larynx Anatomy: Cartilages, Ligaments And Muscles
List the subdivisions of laryngeal cavity. Mention the narrowest part of the laryngeal cavity.
Answer.
The laryngeal cavity is divided into three parts:
- Vestibule: Between laryngeal inlet and vestibular folds.
- Ventricle (sinus): Between vestibular folds above and vocal folds below.
- Infraglottic part: Below the vocal folds, and up to the lower border of cricoid cartilage.
The glottis (i.e. space between the two vocal folds) is the narrowest part of the laryngeal cavity.
