| oblique arytenoid | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, muscular process of arytenoid cartilage; insertion, summit of arytenoid cartilage of opposite side and continuing as the aryepiglottic muscle in the aryepiglottic fold to the epiglottis; action, narrows the interarytenoid portion of the rima glottidis; nerve supply, recurrent laryngeal. Synonym: musculus arytenoideus obliquus, arytenoideus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse arytenoid muscle | <anatomy> A band of muscular fibres passing between the two arytenoid cartilages posteriorly; action, narrows the intercartilaginous portion of the rima glottidis; nerve supply, recurrent laryngeal.
