Their main use is to draw the arytenoid cartilages forward toward the thyroid, and thus shorten and relax the vocal folds.
They are situated in the posterior parts of the aryepiglottic folds of mucous membrane, and are sometimes fused with the arytenoid cartilages.
Its anterior surface is in relation with the Thyreohyoideus, Sternohyoideus, and Omohyoideus, and with the body of the hyoid bone.

 VOICE - LoveToKnow Article on VOICE
These cartilages are movable on each other by the action of various muscles, which thus regulate the position and the tension of the vocal cords.
The trachea conveys the blast of air from the lungs during expiration, and the whole apparatus may be compared to an acoustical contrivance in which the lungs represent the wind chest and the trachea the tube passing from the wind chest to the sounding body contained in the larynx.
We are now in a position to understand the action of the muscles jf the larynx by which the vocal cords, forming the rinia glottidis, ~an be tightened or relaxed, and by which they can be approximated or separated.

Within the cartilage structure are the arytenoid cartilages which are able to move in a variety of ways they can glide medially and laterally as well as rotate, and may slide forward and backward with restricted movements.
The medial portion may aid in adduction of the arytenoid cartilages and shortening of the vocal folds for biologic purposes: may aid in tension regulation for phonation.
The cricoarytenoid muscle connects the cricoid cartilages with the arytenoids.

 Treatment of Unilateral Adductor Vocal Cord Paralysis
Arytenoid adduction can be used in conjunction with medialization thyroplasty and re-innervation surgery.
A simple way to assess if an arytenoid adduction is necessary is to see if the vocal processes of the arytenoid cartilages touch in the midline when the patient phonates.

 RESPIRATORY SYSTEM - LoveToKnow Article on RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
Siren) and a definite larynx with arytenoid cartilages, vocal cords and complicated muscles is established in the Anura (frogs and toads).
The lungs are small and closely connected with the ribs, while from them numerous large air sacs extend among the viscera, muscles and into many of the bones, which, by being filled with hot air, help to maintain the high temperature and lessen the specific gravity of the body.

These include the suprahyoid muscles and the longitudinal pharyngeal muscles that pull the hyoid bone and the larynx upward; and the infrahyoid strap muscles that pull the hyoid bone and larynx downward.
Muscles of the larynx extrinsic muscles these muscles insert into the larynx or the hyoid bone and originate in remote areas.
Thyroarytenoid muscle- lies just above the lateral cricoarytenoid muscle, it arises from the internal aspect of the thyroid lamina and inserts into the entire lateral border of the arytenoid cartilage.

 The Harry M. Zweig Memorial Fund for Equine Research - Currently Funded Projects
This procedure involves suturing the paralyzed cartilage in an open position such that the airflow can be restored—a surgery that is successful in only 50 to 60% of racehorses.
Furthermore, to add to the decision making dilemma as to whether or not to perform surgery is the observation that the procedure seems less successful in horses that retain significant movement of the flapper, presumably because the remaining movement pulls against the suture causing it to cut through the cartilage.
We hope to find a solution that does not risk worsening the condition and one that would reduce to lay-up time to 2 weeks.

 Sound producing muscles
They are - intrinsic muscles that interconnect various cartilages of the larynx, and extrinsic muscles connecting larynx to other structures around the larynx.
Cricoarytenoid muscles (connect cricoid and arytenoid cartilages), interarytenoid muscles (connect two arytenoid cartilages).
The larynx is made up of muscles and in all nine cartilages.

Look at Figures 9 and 10 and try to understand how contraction of these muscles would exert a sphincter-like action on the vestibule to the larynx, drawing the epiglottis downward and backward, and the arytenoid cartilages forward, while keeping the vocal cords adducted.
The muscles which are mainly responsible for closing off the vestibule are the ARYEPIGLOTTICUS, the THYROEPIGLOTTICUS, and the THYROARYTENOID.

 Arytenoid Chondritis
  In some cases where both arytenoids are severely affected, the damage is so extensive that surgery will not provide relief.
The most common treatment for arytenoid chondritis involves surgery; however, medical therapy may be of value in some cases.

Forceful contact of the arytenoid cartilages (see Anatomy and Physiology of Voice Production) can occur during screaming, in the vocal habit of forceful starts to phonation ( "coup deglotte"), repeated throat clearing, or coughing.
In contrast, a normal voice box ( larynx) does not have any growths, and does not exhibit redness, swelling, or any thickening of the surface cover.
Vocal fold granulomas are most likely to form in the back of the vocal folds, especially over the voice box cartilages that open and close the vocal folds or arytenoid cartilages.

 LARYNGEAL PARALYSIS SURVEY
Apparently there are two different kinds of surgeries, the tie back technique which I found described so often at this web site, and anoth r, a "bite" technique where they remove pieces of the arytenoid cartilage rather than tying them back.
The surgeon said we had three choices, a tie-back, do nothing or put him to sleep.
Anyone have any experience with the "bite" technique as opposed to the "tie back?" Thanks all for a great web page, very helpful in this time of stres !

 3. The Larynx
The larynx is supported by ligaments from the hyoid bone, situated at the base of the tongue.
The larynx is a complex valvular mechanism of inter-connected cartilages, muscles, fibrous tissue and mucous membrane, with three main functions:
The skeletal structure of the larynx is made up of three single large cartilaginous structures, the epiglottis, the thyroid cartilage, and the cricoid cartilage and one pair of cartilages known as the arytenoids cartilages.

 Southern California Veterinary Surgical Group - Laryngeal Paralysis
While emergency procedures ranging from sedation, oxygen, and corticosteroids to tracheotomy may be required for initial stabilization, SURGERY is the only permanent correction.
It is usually caused by dysfunction of the nerve (recurrent laryngeal) that controls the laryngeal musculature.
The diagnosis of laryngeal paralysis involves direct observation of arytenoid function during respiration.

 Anatomy and Examination of the Larynx
These cartilages are connected to other structures of the head and neck through the extrinsic muscles.
The intrinsic muscles of the larynx alter the position, shape and tension of the vocal folds (Fig.
The larynx consists of four basic anatomic components: a cartilaginous skeleton, intrinsic and extrinsic muscles, and a mucosal lining The cartilaginous skeleton, which houses the vocal cords, is comprised of the thyroid, cricoid, and arytenoid cartilages (Fig.1).

 ARTICLE - Potential Complications After Thyroidectomy
These muscles assist in changing the position of the cricoid, arytenoid, and thyroid cartilages, thus affecting both the tension and length of the vocal cords.
It is a highly vascular organ, and consists of two lobes that are connected by an isthmus, which is usually positioned at the level of the upper three tracheal rings.
The RLNs supply motor innervation to the intrinsic laryngeal muscles.

He added much to the knowledge previously held with regard to the organs of generation and pointed out the important distinction between male and female, that the chest has greater capacity in the former and the pelvis in the latter.
His dissections of the eye and of the ear made anatomical knowledge of these structures, also, much more definite.
He discovered the arytenoid cartilages in the larynx and gave the first good description of the thymus gland.

 eMedicine - Supraglottic Cancer : Article by Jonathan E Sonne, MD
These areas of the supraglottis are structured within the framework of the supraglottic larynx, which includes the upper half of the thyroid cartilage, the arytenoid cartilages, and the epiglottis (see Image 1).
Clinical: The most common symptoms of supraglottic cancer are hoarseness, odynophagia, dysphagia, and neck mass.
For example, cancer that extends through a boundary, such as the thyroid cartilage or pyriform apex, demands more aggressive treatment than a lesion without such extension.

 larynx
Note: In the framework of the human larynx, the thyroid cartilage, attached to the hyoid bone, makes the protuberance on the front of the neck known as Adam's apple, and is articulated below to the ringlike cricoid cartilage.
It contains the vocal cords, which produce the voice by their vibrations, when they are stretched and a current of air passes between them The larynx is connected with the pharynx by an opening, the glottis, which in mammals, is protected by a lidlike epiglottis.
This is narrow in front and high behind, where within the thyroid, it is surmounted by the two arytenoid cartilages, from which the vocal cords pass forward to be attached together to the front of the thyroid.
http://www.beetfoundation.com/words/l/larynx.html

  
 Vocal cords
The folds vibrate when they are closed to obstruct the airflow through the glottis, the space between the folds: they are forced open by increased air pressure in the lungs, and closed again as the air rushes past the folds, lowering the pressure ( Bernoulli's principle).
They vibrate, modulating the flow of air being expelled from the lungs during phonation.
Open during breathing, the folds are controlled via the arytenoid cartilages for speech or singing.

 Elastic Cartilage
Elastic cartilage is very similar to hyaline cartilage except that it contains abundant elastic fiber in the matrix.
It is located in the auricle or external ear and the auditory tube.
In the larynx, elastic cartilage forms the epiglottis, the corniculate, cuneiform and the arytenoid cartilages.

 Vocal fry - definition of Vocal fry in Encyclopedia
The frequency of the vibration is very low (20–50 pulses per second) and the airflow through the glottis is very slow.
Creaky voice (also called laryngealisation or vocal fry, especially in the US), is a special kind of phonation in which the arytenoid cartilages in the larynx are drawn together; as a result, the vocal folds are compressed rather tightly, becoming relatively slack and compact, and forming a large, irregularly vibrating mass.

Modal voicing (gradual opening and sharp closing) produces a laryngeal spectrum consisting of a fundamental frequency and harmonics.
Breathy Voice (Murmur) Vocal folds vibrate without appreciable contact; arytenoid cartilages further apart than in modal voices; higher rate of airflow than in normal voice.
Voiceless No vibration of the vocal folds; arytenoid cartilages apart.
