A considerable number of the fibers of theThyreoarytænoideus are prolonged into thearyepiglottic fold , where some of them become lost, while others are continued to the margin of the epiglottis. They have received a distinctive name, Thyreoepiglotticus or Thyroepiglottic, and are sometimes described as a separate muscle.External links
