Rima Glottidis
The opening b/w the true vocal cords and arytenoid cartilages

Rima Glottidis views with different respirations

Function of cricothyroid
stretch and tense vocal ligament

Function of thryo-arytenoid
relaxes vocal ligament (medial part is vocalis m.)

Function of posterior crico-arytenoid
abducts vocal ligament (opens r.g.) **

Function of lateral crico-arytenoid
adducts vocal folds (closes r.g.)

Function of transverse and oblique arytenoids
adduct arytenoid cartilges (closes r.g)

function of vocalis
relaxes posterior vocal ligament while maintaining tension of anterior part
Nerves of larynx (labeled)

Innervation of the Larynx
- Superior laryngeal n.
* INTERNAL BRANCH (aka internal laryngeal n.): Sensory to glottis and laryngeal vestibule & vocal folds
* EXTERNAL BRANCH (aka external laryngeal n.): Motor to cricothyroid m.
- Recurrent laryngeal n.: Motor to all other laryngeal muscles and Sensory to subglottis
