The larynx is a complex anatomical organ comprised of many different soft and hard tissues that allow a human to articulate using sound, and breathe through a well-built filter. In addition to those functions, the larynx helps prevent food to go into the trachea, and eventually to the lungs.
It is in the larynx where you'll find the vocal folds, which helps us manipulate the pitch and volume of our voices. That is very important for phonation.
In this tutorial on the Larynx, we will cover structures using english and latin terminologies. We're going to be talking about the membranes, the ligaments, and also the muscles of the larynx.
We will give you a general overview of all of the structures combined into one tutorial so you can have a good understanding of the larynx, which is not an easy topic to learn.
List of topics:
- What is the Larynx? Larynx vs Pharynx
- Laryngeal cartilages: thyroid cartilage, cricoid cartilage, arytenoid cartilage, epiglottic cartilage, corniculate cartilage, cuneiform cartilage.
- Membranes and Ligaments of the Larynx: thyrohyoid membrane, lateral thyrohyoid ligament, median thyrohyoid ligament, median cricothyroid ligament, cricotracheal ligament, elastic cone, vocal ligament, quadrangular membrane, vestibular ligament.
- Muscles of the Larynx: cricothyroid, thyroarytenoid, posterior cricoarytenoid, lateral cricoarytenoid, transverse arytenoid, oblique arytenoid, vocalis.

This subject really shows how weak most notebooks + professors of anatomy are in explaining complex things... struggled so much trying to put everything in its place.. Really happy I decided to watch this great explanation 2 days before my ENT final.. I honestly don’t understand why every structure has many names... this confuses students and eventually may affect patients in the future.. All this could’ve been much much easier if there was some sort of organization instead of throwing a bunch of nonsense at you to figure out by yourself! Really appreciate this video.. thank you so much
