Laryngeal inlet

The laryngeal inlet (laryngeal aditus, laryngeal aperture) is the opening that connects the pharynx and the larynx.

Borders

Its borders are formed by:

  • the free curved edge of the epiglottis, anteriorly
  • the arytenoid cartilages, the corniculate cartilages, and the interarytenoid fold, posteriorly
  • the aryepiglottic fold, laterally
