Abstract:The aim of this work was to study the prevalence and form of the ary-thyro-cricoid (ATC) muscular fascicle, a variable muscular slip connecting the oblique and/or transverse arytenoid muscles with the thyroarytenoid (TA) and/or lateral cricoarytenoid (LCA) muscles resembling a sphincter encircling the glottis. Thirty larynges obtained from necropsies of individuals with no known laryngeal pathology were dissected. The ATC fascicle was observed in 96.7% of the larynges. It appeared bilaterally in 60% of subject… Show more
“…The arythyrocricoid fascicle has been found in 96.7% of cases (60% bilaterally, 36.7% unilaterally; 20% left side, 16.7% right side) without significant side or The pharyngeal mucosa has been removed. These variable attachments mean that there are nine possible variants of this muscular fascicle (Maranillo et al 2011). Adapted from Well and Thomas (1937) with permission from John Wiley & Sons.…”

“…The external sphincter gives rise to the cricothyroid muscle, the thyroid cartilage and the inferior constrictor muscles of the pharynx; the internal sphincter is the origin of the rest of the intrinsic muscles and cartilages of the larynx (Fürbringer 1875;Kanthack 1892;Maranillo et al 2009Maranillo et al , 2011.

“…The thyroarytenoid (TA) muscle is one of the intrinsic laryngeal muscles that is known to play an important role in controlling the equality and intensity of phonation . The TA muscle draws the arytenoid cartilage toward the thyroid cartilage, thereby rotating the arytenoid cartilage medially and relaxing the vocal ligaments …”
