- Superficial anterior cervical nodesNodi cervicales anteriores superficialesSmall superficial lymph nodes in the front of the neck, lying along the anterior jugular vein below the hyoid bone.
- Superficial lateral cervical nodesNodi cervicales laterales superficialesSuperficial lymph nodes on the side of the neck, lying along the external jugular vein on the outer surface of sternocleidomastoid.
- Superior thyroid veinVena thyroidea superiorThe vein draining the upper pole of the thyroid gland, running with the superior thyroid artery to the internal jugular vein.
- Supraclavicular nodesNodi supraclavicularesLymph nodes in the hollow above the clavicle, at the root of the neck, close to where the great lymph ducts join the veins.
- Sympathetic nervesNervi sympathiciThe nerves of the sympathetic division of the autonomic system, running from the thoracolumbar cord to glands, vessels and organs throughout the body.
- Sympathetic trunkTruncus sympathicusA paired chain of nerve fibres and ganglia lying beside the vertebral bodies from the skull base to the coccyx.
- Thyro-epiglottic part of thyro-arytenoid musclePars thyreoepiglottica musculi thyreoarytenoideiThe thyro-epiglottic part is a thin slip of the thyro-arytenoid muscle that runs from the inside of the thyroid cartilage to the epiglottis.
- Thyrohyoid muscleMusculus thyreohyoideusThyrohyoid is a small, four-sided infrahyoid muscle that joins the thyroid cartilage of the larynx to the greater horn of the hyoid.
- Thyroid cartilageCartilago thyreoideaThe largest cartilage of the larynx, a shield of two plates meeting in front of the neck to form the Adam's apple.
- Thyroid nodesNodi thyreoideiDeep anterior cervical lymph nodes lying on and around the thyroid gland in the lower front of the neck.
- Transverse arytenoid muscleMusculus arytenoideus transversusThe transverse arytenoid is an unpaired muscle at the back of the larynx that bridges the two arytenoid cartilages and draws them together.
- Transverse cervical arteryArteria transversa colli arteria transversa cervicisAn offshoot of the thyrocervical trunk that crosses low through the posterior triangle to supply trapezius and the scapular muscles.
