• A. Thyroid, cricoid, arytenoid
• B. Thyroid, ethmoid, palatine
• C. Thyroid, cricoid, ethmoid
• D. Thyroid, cricoid, palatine

Answer 1

The correct option is A Thyroid, cricoid, arytenoid

The cricoid cartilage is a ring of hyaline cartilage located at the inferior aspect of the larynx and is the only complete ring of cartilage around the trachea. It has the shape of a signet ring. The thyroid cartilage is the largest of the laryngeal cartilages. It is formed by a right and a left lamina that are separated posteriorly and joined together at an acute angle in the anterior midline, forming the laryngeal prominence, commonly known as Adam's apple. The arytenoid cartilages form the part of the larynx to which the vocal ligaments and vocal folds attach. They are located superior to the cricoid cartilage in the posterior part of the larynx.

Hence the correct option is A.
