    Abstract: Described are examples of a training simulator for direct laryngoscopy, which reproduce the dynamics of the human airway and hyoid bone movement observed in the human anatomy during movement of the somatic skeleton and direct laryngoscopy procedures. Training simulators can include a skeleton structure having a styloid process analogue, a mandible analogue, and a longitudinally extending column configured to move between an extended state and a flexed state. A suspension chain can extend parallel to the column and be configured to move with the column. The suspension chain can include a hyoid analogue coupled to the styloid process analogue, the mandible analogue, and an anchor point situated along the column of the skeleton structure. Training simulators can also include a glottis analogue, the visibility of which can be greater when the column is in a flexed state, than when the column is in an extended state.
