1. Definition
The cricotracheal ligament is an elastic membrane belonging to the external laryngeal ligaments.
2. Anatomy
The cricotracheal ligament runs between the first tracheal ring and the lower edge of the cricoid cartilage and thus forms the transition from the windpipe (trachea) to the larynx (larynx).
