Fascia & connective tissue

Looks like

A cone-shaped sheet of elastic tissue inside the voice box, running from the ring-shaped cricoid cartilage up to the vocal cords.

Its free upper edge forms the vocal ligaments inside the vocal cords; its front part closes the gap between the thyroid and cricoid cartilages.

The soft spot below the Adam's apple lies over it; in a choking emergency doctors can open the airway there.
