Schildknorpel (Cartilago thyroidea)

The video tutorial provides an in-depth look at the cartilago thyreoidea, focusing on the larynx, shield cartilage, and their anatomical features. It explains the structure and function of the shield cartilage, including its lamines and the formation of the Adam's apple. The tutorial also covers the incisions and ridges found on the cartilage, as well as the horns and ligaments that connect the shield cartilage to other structures. The video concludes with a discussion on the membrane that restricts the mobility of these structures.

What is the primary function of the joint connecting the shield cartilage to the ring cartilage?

• To enable the shield cartilage to pivot

• To connect the shield cartilage to the tongue

• To provide structural support to the trachea

• To allow the shield cartilage to move independently

What is the common name for the angular vertex of the shield cartilage?

• Laryngeal prominence

• Vocal fold

• Adam's apple

• Thyroid notch

Which ridge runs from cranio dorsal to ventral caudal on the shield cartilage?

• Linea obliqua

• Thyroid ridge

• Laryngeal crest

• Cartilage line

What is the role of the cornu superius in the laryngeal skeleton?

• To connect the shield cartilage to the trachea

• To reinforce the linea obliqua

• To support the vocal cords

• To attach the shield cartilage to the tongue leg

How does the membrane Tyro Hühya affect the movement of the shield cartilage?

• It restricts movement to a certain extent

• It enhances the flexibility of the shield cartilage

• It allows unrestricted movement

• It connects the shield cartilage to the vocal cords
