Cricotracheal ligament
Ligament in the neck From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The cricotracheal ligament connects (the inferior border of) the cricoid cartilage superiorly, and the first tracheal cartilage ring inferiorly. It is continuous with the tracheal perichondrium[1] and resembles the fibrous membrane which connects the cartilaginous rings of the trachea to each other.[citation needed]
