It is closed by the lateral cricoarytenoid muscles and the arytenoid muscle. It is opened by the posterior cricoarytenoid muscles. Anteriorly it is attached to the middle angle of thyroid cartilage. Posteriorly it is attached to vocal process of arytenoid cartilage It is limited posteriorly by interarytenoid fold of mucous membrane. The shape of Rima glottidis is changed by movements of vocal cords. It is the narrowest part of larynx. It is longer (23mm) in males than in females (17mm). All of these muscles receive their innervation from the recurrent laryngeal nerve which is a branch of the vagus nerve (CN X). This nerve can be vulnerable in thyroid surgery. Any damage to the rima glottidis may result in a hoarse voice, aphonia or difficulty breathing.
