The structure in the neck that contains the vocal cords.
The organ in the throat which produces sounds.
Organ that contains the vocal cords and is responsible for sound production; it is part of the air passageway connecting the pharynx and the trachea, and it produces a bump—the Adam’s apple—in front of the neck, also called voice box.
Region of the throat starting at the base of the tongue and ending at the upper trachea encircled by nine musculocartilaginous rings.
The organ in the throat responsible for voice production; commonly called the voice box. The larynx is a structure of the respiratory system, lying between the pharynx (throat) and the trachea (windpipe).
The organ responsible for the production of vocal sounds, also serving as an air passage conveying air fi-om the pharynx to the lungs. It is situated in the front of the neck, above the trachea. It is made up of a framework of nine cartilages, the epiglottis, thyroid, cricoid, arytenoid (two), corniculate (two), and cuneiform (two), bound together by ligaments and muscles and lined with mucous membrane. Within are a pair of vocal cords, which function in the production of voice.
The organ of voice which also forms one of the higher parts of the air passages. It is placed high up in the front of the neck, where it forms a considerable prominence on the surface (Adam’s apple). It contains the vocal cords, which, vibrating in different modes according to their tenseness, produce the sounds of voice and speech.
A musculocartilaginous organ at the upper end of the trachea, below the root of the tongue, lined with ciliated mucous membrane, that is part of the airway and the vocal apparatus.
The area of the throat containing the vocal cords and used for breathing, swallowing and talking. Also called the voice box.
The voice box, located at the top of the trachea.
The section of the respiratory system situated between the pharynx and the trachea is referred to as the larynx. It comprises sturdy walls made up of cartilage and muscle tissues and houses the vocal cords, which play a pivotal role in speech production and sound modulation. The larynx serves as a vital passage for air movement during respiration, while also contributing to the production of vocal sounds through the coordinated vibration of the vocal cords.
The voice-producing organ in the throat is known as the voice box or larynx. It’s situated between the pharynx (throat) and the trachea (windpipe).
The larynx is composed of cartilaginous sections, with the thyroid cartilage being the most prominent, forming the forward-protruding Adam’s apple. Beneath this is the cricoid cartilage, connecting it to the trachea. On the rear of the cricoid cartilage are two pyramid-like formations known as the arytenoid cartilages. The larynx’s interior is coated with a mucous membrane.
Inside the larynx, between the thyroid and arytenoid cartilages, lie two bands of tissue known as the vocal cords. When air from the lungs flows over them, these cords vibrate to create vocal sounds. The resulting vibrations are then shaped by the tongue, mouth, and lips to form speech.
The epiglottis, a leaf-like piece of cartilage, is connected to the top of the thyroid cartilage. During swallowing, it covers the larynx to ensure food and liquids don’t enter the trachea.
The cartilage-based voice organ located in the neck behind the Adam’s apple, positioned between the trachea and the pharynx.
