<P> In adult humans , the larynx is found in the anterior neck at the level of the C3 -- C6 vertebrae . It connects the inferior part of the pharynx ( hypopharynx ) with the trachea . The laryngeal skeleton consists of six cartilages : three single ( epiglottic , thyroid and cricoid ) and three paired ( arytenoid , corniculate , and cuneiform ) . The hyoid bone is not part of the larynx , though the larynx is suspended from the hyoid . The larynx extends vertically from the tip of the epiglottis to the inferior border of the cricoid cartilage . Its interior can be divided in supraglottis , glottis and subglottis . </P>
