Cricoid cartilage is attached to the thyroid cartilage in the presence of cricothyroid ligament. There is also a cricotracheal ligament that attaches the cricoid cartilage to the first ring of the trachea [ 3 ].

Remember that chondrocytes are bound in a space called the lacunae; therefore, they cannot move to a damaged area to repair it.
