Larynx:
Also called voice box, the larynx consists of numerous cartilages the largest is called the cricoid that is connected to the upper part of the trachea. The cricoid is a complete ring in structure differing from the tracheal cartilages that are open at the back making them appear like horseshoe. On top of this cricoid cartilage is the thyroid cartilage
