Superior laryngeal artery

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Larynx of man

The superior laryngeal artery ("upper larynx artery") - referred to as the cranial laryngeal artery in animal anatomy - is an artery in the neck. It arises from the upper thyroid artery and, together with the inner branch of the superior laryngeal nerve, extends below the thyrohyoid muscle to the larynx , pierces the hyoid-larynx membrane ( thyrohyoid membrane ) and supplies the upper part of the larynx up to the glottis with arterial blood. In cloven-hoofed animals , it also supplies the front part of the thymus .
