The thyroid cartilage forms the bulk of the anterior wall of the larynx, and serves to protect the vocal folds ("vocal cords") which are located directly behind it.
The thyroid cartilage is superior to the cricoid.
The cricoid cartilage is located at the base of the larynx, just below the thyroid cartilage. It is a complete ring of cartilage that forms the lowest part of the larynx and provides structural support to the airway.
The most inferior cartilage of the larynx is the cricoid cartilage. It forms a complete ring structure located just below the thyroid cartilage.

Cricoid cartilage :D
The firm cartilaginous ring that forms the interior portion of the larynx is called the cricoid cartilage. It is located just below the thyroid cartilage and plays a key role in maintaining the structure and function of the larynx.
The ring-shaped cartilage just inferior to the thyroid cartilage is the cricoid cartilage. It is located at the top of the trachea and serves as a landmark for various procedures involving the airway.
In the human the level of cricoid is the 6th cervical vertebra.

cricoid cartilage
The thyroid cartilage is larger and located higher in the neck than the cricoid cartilage. The thyroid cartilage is commonly referred to as the "Adam's apple" and is more prominent in males. The cricoid cartilage is smaller and shaped like a signet ring, located just below the thyroid cartilage. Both cartilages play a role in supporting the larynx and vocal cords.
Cricoid cartilage forms a complete ring around the airway. It is the only laryngeal cartilage to do so.
