crico

In addition to the fact, that the carotid arteries lie farther apart from each other and from the median place -- viz., the crico-thyroid interval, which is the seat of laryngotomy -- than they do lower down on either side of the trachea, it should also be noticed that the tracheal tube being more moveable than the larynx, is hence more liable to swerve from the cutting instrument, and implicate the vessels.

Injury to the crico-arytenoid joint may simulate recurrent paralysis.

_The crico-pharyngeal constriction_, as already mentioned, is produced by the tonic contraction of a specialized band of the orbicular fibers of the lowermost portion of the inferior pharyngeal constrictor muscle, called the cricopharyngeal muscle.

The classical descriptions of crico-thyroidotomy and high and low tracheotomy have been handed down to generations of medical students without revision.

A sufficiently wide removal was accomplished without removing any part of the esophageal wall below the level of the crico-arytenoid joint.

-- Fixation of the crico-arytenoid joints with an approximation of the cords may require evisceration of the larynx.

The tension of the vocal cords can be increased by the contraction of their muscular tissues, the two thyro-arytenoid muscles; further, increased tension of the cords can also result from the tilting of the thyroid cartilage on the cricoid, by the contraction of the crico-thyroid muscles.

At the same time they are stretched by the action of the crico-thyroid muscles, which pull apart the points of support at the ends.

_ -- If the symptoms are urgent, laryngotomy, which consists in opening the larynx below the glottis by dividing the crico-thyreoid membrane, or tracheotomy must be performed at once, and an attempt made to remove the foreign body thereafter.

Anatomically, there is such a weak spot in the posterior wall opposite the cricoid cartilage, known as the _pharyngeal dimple_, between the circular and oblique fibres of the crico-pharyngeus muscle.
