Well, perhaps I am not remembering correctly, but I thought that the
thyroarytenoid muscle was made up of two parts, one being the external
thyroarytenoid, and the other being the vocalis muscle (or internal
thyroarytenoid). While "ring" has to do, at least in part, with
approximation of the vocal folds, I am not sure that isn't an
oversimplification of what occurs in producing a ringing tone. I, of
course, will defer to the pedagogic geniuses...
