| Muscle | Portion | Origin | Insertion |
|---|---|---|---|
| M. cricothyroideus | Cricoid arch and laterally from broadened rostral end of cricoid spine | Caudal edge of thyroid lamina and ventrolaterally to caudal horn of thyroid cartilage | |
| M. cricoarytenoideus dorsalis | Cricoid lamina, mostly in exception from its thin and flexible, dorsally concave caudal part, dorsal to cricothyroid connection | Dorsocaudal surface of muscular process of arytenoid cartilage | |
| M. cricoarytenoideus lateralis | Dorsorostral half of cricoid arch | Triangular ventrolateral surface of muscular process of arytenoid cartilage | |
| M. arytenoideus transversus | Rostrodorsal edge of muscular process of arytenoid cartilage | Contralateral muscle | |
| M. thyroarytenoideus | Rostral | Dorsal surface of thyroid cartilage, rostral to thyroid prominence | With strongly converging fibres to the apex of the arytenoid cartilage, rostral to M.arytenoideus transversus |
| Middle | Dorsal surface of thyroid cartilage, rostral part of thyroid prominence | Ventrorostral surface of muscular process of arytenoid cartilage | |
| Caudal | Dorsal surface of thyroid cartilage, caudal part of thyroid prominence | Ventrocaudal surface of muscular process of arytenoid cartilage |
