cuneiform cartilage

It contains the cuneiform cartilages.

Function of the cuneiform cartilages is to support the vocal folds and lateral aspects of the epiglottis.

Paired Cuneiform Cartilage: Club-shaped pieces of elastic cartilage located anterior to the corniculate cartilages.

The cuneiform cartilages of the larynx (cartilages of Wrisberg) are two small, elongated pieces of yellow elastic cartilage, placed one on either side, in the aryepiglottic fold, where they give rise to small whitish elevations on the surface of the mucous membrane, just in front of the arytenoid cartilages.
