The aryepiglotticus is a muscle of the larynx running in the aryepiglottic fold from the arytenoid cartilage to the epiglottis. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

The atlas records 4 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of oblique arytenoid.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the aryepiglotticus muscle. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.
