Vocal Ligament

The vocal ligaments (or inferior thyroarytenoid) are two strong bands enclosed within the vocal folds.

Each ligament consists of a band of yellow elastic tissue, attached in front to the angle of the thyroid cartilage, and behind to the vocal process of the arytenoid.

Famous quotes containing the word vocal:

    “Prayer is
    The world in tune,
    A spirit-voice,
    And vocal joys,
    Whose echo is Heaven’s bliss.”
    —Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)
