Therima vestibuli is a space in thelaryngeal cavity.
It is to thevestibular ligaments (vestibular folds once covered withmucous membrane) what therima glottidis is to thevocal ligaments (vocal folds once covered with mucous membrane) – the space formed when the folds are separated. It can be defined as the space in between the false vocal cords, and allows air to pass through the larynx.
