and vocal ligaments, the upper portion extends between the arytenoidcartilage and the epiglottis and is often poorly defined; the lower part is a well-marked membrane forming, with its fellow of the opposite side, the conus elasticus which connects the thyroid, cricoid, and arytenoidcartilages to one another.
The width and shape of the rima glottidis vary with the movements of the vocal folds and arytenoidcartilages during respiration and phonation.
It arises from the upper border of the arch of the cricoid cartilage, and, passing obliquely upward and backward, is inserted into the front of the muscular process of the arytenoidcartilage.
