cartilage /car·ti·lage/ (kahr´tĭ-lij) a specialized, fibrous connective tissue present in adults, and forming the temporary skeleton in the embryo, providing a model in which the bones develop, and constituting a part of the organism's growth mechanism; the three most important types are hyaline cartilage, elastic cartilage, and fibrocartilage. Also, a general term for a mass of such tissue in a particular site in the body.

arytenoid cartilage

[ä·rit′ənoid kär′ti·ləj]

Etymology: Gk, arytaina, ladle + eidos, form; L, cartilago

one of the paired, pitcher-shaped cartilages of the back of the larynx at the upper border of the cricoid cartilage with attachments to the vocal chords.

arytenoid

shaped like a jug or pitcher, as the arytenoid cartilage.

arytenoid abscess

see laryngeal chondritis.

arytenoid cartilage

one of the paired laryngeal cartilages in the dorsal part of the larynx that provides attachment for the muscles that adduct and abduct the vocal cords. The cartilages form the dorsal boundary of the rima glottis, the vocal cords the ventral boundary.

arytenoid chondritis

inflammation of the arytenoid cartilage that causes a syndrome similar to that caused by recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis.

arytenoid lateralization

a surgical technique used to treat laryngeal paralysis in dogs. One or both arytenoid cartilages are fixed in a lateral position with sutures, thereby enlarging the diameter of the laryngeal lumen.
