Step 2 - Dissection of the Larynx

1. The remaining muscles of the larynx (lateral cricoarytenoid m. and vocalis m.) can be seen best when one of the lamina of the thryoid cartilage has been removed. Make a cut along the line shown and remove the lamina.

2. Review the internal structure of the larynx and identify:
   • epiglottis
   • vestibular fold
   • ventricle
   • true vocal fold
