Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

The rare ceratocricoid muscle was found in 6.3% of 134 hemilarynges examined. This study details the muscle's anatomy, origins, and insertion points in the human larynx.

Area of Science:

  • Anatomy
  • Laryngeal Anatomy
  • Human Anatomy

Background:

  • The human larynx contains intrinsic and extrinsic muscles that control phonation and airway protection.
  • The ceratocricoid muscle is an infrequently described laryngeal muscle.
  • Understanding laryngeal muscle variations is crucial for surgical and clinical interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of the ceratocricoid muscle in human hemilarynges.
  • To describe the anatomical course, attachments, and innervation of the ceratocricoid muscle.

Main Methods:

  • Dissection of 134 human hemilarynges.
  • Gross anatomical examination to identify the presence and location of the ceratocricoid muscle.
  • Documentation of muscle origin from the cricoid cartilage and insertion onto the thyroid cartilage.

Main Results:

  • The ceratocricoid muscle was identified in 6.3% of the examined hemilarynges.
  • The muscle originates below the posterior cricoarytenoid muscle on the cricoid cartilage.
  • It inserts on the posterior aspect of the inferior horn of the thyroid cartilage.

Conclusions:

  • The ceratocricoid muscle is a rare but present anatomical variation in the human larynx.
  • Its consistent anatomical description aids in understanding laryngeal biomechanics.
  • Further research may explore its functional significance in phonation or airway dynamics.
