It runs between the vestibular fold, thyroarytenoid muscle, and thyroid cartilage, and is conical, bending slightly backward.
2.
Physiologically, the glottis is closed by intrinsic laryngeal muscles such as the lateral cricoarytenoid, thyroarytenoid, and interarytenoid muscles.
3.
The phonatory muscles are divided into adductors ( lateral cricoarytenoid muscles, arytenoid muscles ) and tensors ( cricothyroid muscles, thyroarytenoid muscles ).
4.
The aryepiglottic muscle together with the transverse arytenoid and the thyroarytenoid work as a sphincter and close the larynx as we swallow or cough.
5.
For more severe VCD cases, physicians may inject botulinum toxin into the vocal ( thyroarytenoid ) muscles to weaken or decrease muscle tension.
6.
The folds are covered on the surface by laryngeal mucous membrane which is supported deeper down underneath by the innermost fibres of the thyroarytenoid muscle.
7.
This break is a sudden gap in sound which occurs when the thyroarytenoid muscles suddenly decrease their activity and the cricothyroid muscles begin to function.
8.
A considerable number of the fibers of the thyroarytenoid muscle are prolonged into the aryepiglottic fold, where some of them become lost, while others are continued to the margin of the epiglottis.
9.
The fossa is bounded, above, by the free crescentic edge of the vestibular ligament; below, by the straight margin of the vocal fold and laterally, by the mucous membrane covering the corresponding thyroarytenoid muscle.
10.
Belt technique requires muscle coordination not readily used in classically trained singers as the thyroarytenoid muscle is dominant ( as opposed to head register singing where the cricothyroid muscle is dominant ), which may be why some opera singers find learning to belt challenging.
