A biomechanical study of the movements of the arytenoid cartilage by Sellars, Ione

“…The results of these studies have been rarely questioned or scientifically re-examined, with the consequence that authoritative anatomical texts have perpetuated unconfirmed ideas of the behaviour of the cricoarytenoid joint. The purpose of this thesis is to present in detail the results of research into the anatomy and the functions of the cricoarytenoid joint and of the muscles that act upon it. …”
