THE BLOOD SUPPLY AND LYMPHATIC SYSTEM OF THE LARYNX: AN ANATOMICAL AND FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS
Abstract
The larynx, a vital organ in the respiratory and phonatory systems, depends on a well-organized vascular and lymphatic network to maintain its structure, function, and defense mechanisms. Adequate blood supply ensures oxygenation and nourishment of the laryngeal tissues, while an efficient lymphatic drainage system is crucial for immune protection and the removal of metabolic waste. This article presents a comprehensive anatomical and functional analysis of the laryngeal blood supply and lymphatic system, emphasizing their clinical relevance. The study also highlights how vascular and lymphatic integrity supports phonation, airway protection, and healing after inflammation or surgery. Understanding the vascular and lymphatic anatomy of the larynx is essential for surgeons, anesthesiologists, and otolaryngologists to avoid complications and ensure functional preservation during medical interventions.
