The laryngeal cartilage is palpable on the body surface. There are nine laryngeal cartilages, two of which are palpable on the body surface, the thyroid cartilage and the cricoid cartilage. There are nine laryngeal cartilages in the human body, including three pairs of paired cartilages: the lesser angular cartilage, the cuneiform cartilage, and the arytenoid cartilage, as well as three more, the thyroid, cricoid, and epiglottis cartilages. The thyroid cartilage is located in the anterior and lateral walls of the larynx, the largest piece of cartilage in the larynx, and its upper end constitutes the laryngeal node. In the process of palpation in the center of the larynx, the V-shaped traces of the thyroid cartilage can be palpated, and the left and right plates of the thyroid cartilage can be palpated on both sides of it. The cricoid cartilage can be touched from the thyroid cartilage downwards. If you have symptoms of laryngeal discomfort, it is recommended that you go to the hospital.
