| 1. | In the late 1990s, Meltzer performed many cricothyroid approximation surgeries.
|
| 2. | The conus elasticus or lateral ligament is the lateral thickened part of the cricothyroid membrane.
|
| 3. | It descends on the larynx, beneath the sternothyroid muscle, to supply the cricothyroid muscle.
|
| 4. | The external branch functions to tense the vocal cords by activating the cricothyroid muscle, increasing pitch.
|
| 5. | Large scale changes are accomplished by increasing the tension in the vocal folds through contraction of the cricothyroid muscle.
|
| 6. | The posterior edge of each half articulates with the cricoid cartilage inferiorly at a joint called the cricothyroid joint.
|
| 7. | For raising the voice pitch in cricothyroid approximation, a surgical technique that since obtained more and more widespread acceptance.
|
| 8. | Injection of the vocal folds may be done transorally or percutaneously, through the thyrohyoid membrane, thyroid cartilage, or cricothyroid membrane.
|
| 9. | The phonatory muscles are divided into adductors ( lateral cricoarytenoid muscles, arytenoid muscles ) and tensors ( cricothyroid muscles, thyroarytenoid muscles ).
|
| 10. | By comparison with the recurrent laryngeal nerves, the superior laryngeal nerve takes a more direct route on the way to the cricothyroid muscles.
