The larynx is an uneven and median organ forming part of the upper airways. It is located in the infrahyoid region, below the hyoid bone and the tongue base. It is a critically important organ for breathing, swallowing, and phonation. The anatomy of this organ is particularly complex, and it is essential to know it before approaching surgery. In this chapter, we have tried to make the anatomy of this structure as clear as possible.

摘要

The larynx is an uneven and median organ forming part of the upper airways. It is located in the infrahyoid region, below the hyoid bone and the tongue base. It is a critically important organ for breathing, swallowing, and phonation. The anatomy of this organ is particularly complex, and it is essential to know it before approaching surgery. In this chapter, we have tried to make the anatomy of this structure as clear as possible.
