[1] As the concave bases of the arytenoid cartilages move on the two convex articular surfaces on the cricoid cartilage (at the cricoarytenoid articulations), the vocal processes are brought closer to each other, which permits the vocal folds to make contact (adduct) and abduct.

[2] Just above the vocal process is a shallow depression, the oblong fovea of the arytenoid cartilage.

[3] Vocal process granulomas are rare and benign lesions that occur in 0.9–2.7% of adults with a voice disorder.

Most occurrences and forms of vocal process granulomas regress spontaneously without any specific treatment, even large ones.
