- Anterior longitudinal ligamentLigamentum longitudinale anteriusA long, broad band running down the front of the vertebral column, over every vertebral body and intervertebral disc.
- Cricopharyngeal ligamentLigamentum cricopharyngeumA small band at the back of the larynx that ties the lamina of the cricoid cartilage to the midline of the pharyngeal wall behind it.
- Interspinous ligamentsLigamenta interspinaliaThin membranes filling the gaps between neighbouring spinous processes, from the base to the tip of each process.
- Intertransverse ligamentsLigamenta intertransversariaFibrous bands stretching between the transverse processes of neighbouring vertebrae on each side of the spine.
- Lateral thyrohyoid ligamentLigamentum thyreohyoideum lateraleA rounded elastic cord at the back edge of the thyrohyoid membrane, tying the thyroid cartilage's superior horn to the hyoid bone.
- Ligamenta flavaPaired yellow elastic ligaments joining the laminae of neighbouring vertebrae, forming much of the back wall of the vertebral canal.
- Median cricothyroid ligamentLigamentum cricothyreoideum medianumA strong midline band at the front of the larynx joining the lower edge of the thyroid cartilage to the arch of the cricoid.
- Median thyrohyoid ligamentLigamentum thyreohyoideum medianumThe thickened central part of the thyrohyoid membrane, joining the thyroid notch of the larynx to the central body of the hyoid.
- Nuchal ligamentLigamentum nuchaeA midline fibrous septum in the nape, running from the occipital bone to the spine of the seventh cervical vertebra.
- Posterior longitudinal ligamentLigamentum longitudinale posteriusA long band inside the vertebral canal running down the backs of the vertebral bodies and discs from the axis to the sacrum.
- Quadrangular membraneMembrana quadrangularisA thin sheet of fibroelastic tissue in each side wall of the upper larynx, stretched between the epiglottis and the arytenoid cartilage.
