👉 The term "cricoarytenoid" refers to a specific type of bone or cartilage in the human body that is characterized by its shape and size. This tissue is primarily found at the back of the throat, specifically near the oesophagus, and is responsible for supporting and protecting the vocal cords during speech. The cricoarytenoids are made up of a series of small bones called alveoli, which are connected to each other through tiny tubes called orifices.
