The applied anatomy of the subglottis and anterior commissure is discussed and an attempt made to correlate the histological anatomy with that clinically accessible. It is suggested that although the undersurface of the vocal fold is classified as part of the glottis by the 1972 UICC and AJC staging system, it should be considered as the roof of the subglottis. The anterior commissure, which is probably a small site within the glottis rather than a true area, is histologically difficult to separate from the anterior subglottis. The characteristic microvasculature of the anterior commissure is presented as being possibly relevant to the mode of spread of tumors at this site.
讨论了声门下区和前联合的应用解剖，并尝试将组织学解剖与临床可触及的解剖结构相关联。建议尽管根据1972年国际抗癌联盟（UICC）和美国癌症联合委员会（AJC）分期系统，声带的下表面被归类为声门的一部分，但应将其视为声门下区的顶部。前联合在组织学上很难与声门下前部区分开，它可能是声门内的一个小部位而非一个真正的区域。文中指出前联合的特征性微血管系统可能与该部位肿瘤的扩散方式有关。
