The larynx is primarily composed of cartilage, specifically the thyroid, cricoid, and arytenoid cartilages. These cartilages are supported by connective tissue and muscles, which give structure and facilitate movement within the larynx.

Epithelial Tissue
Fibrous connective tissue forms on the bursa. This type of tissue prevents friction within the joints. The plural of bursa is bursas or bursae.
The tissue type that forms blood is hematopoietic tissue, which includes the bone marrow and spleen. The tissue that forms fat is adipose tissue, which stores energy and cushions organs. Fibroblasts are found in connective tissue, where they produce and maintain the extracellular matrix.
The thyroid cartilage forms the anterior wall of the larynx. It is the largest cartilage of the larynx and helps protect the vocal cords.

Osseous
Cartilage is a flexible yet firm connective tissue that is found in different forms in the respiratory tract and larynx. It is also found in the external ear and joints.
If cancer of the larynx develops, a laryngectomy is performed to remove tumors or cancerous tissue.
