The hyoepiglottic ligament protects the preepiglottic and paraglottic spaces, thus separating the tongue base and the supraglottic larynx, which is the top portion of the larynx and includes the epiglottis and part of the aryepiglottic folds. This ligament serves as a barrier for the preepiglottic space.
