Laryngeal inlet



The laryngeal inlet is the opening that connects the pharynx and the larynx.

Its borders are formed by:

  • the free curved edge of the epiglottis, anteriorly
  • the arytenoid cartilages, the corniculate cartilages, and the interarytenoid fold, posteriorly
  • the aryepiglottic fold, laterally

This structure is also known as the aditus laryngis, the laryngeal aditus, and the laryngeal aperture.
