ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -What is the larynx? Your larynx is part of your respiratory system. It’s a hollow tube that lets air pass from your throat (pharynx) to your trachea on the way to your lungs. It also contains your vocal cords and is essential to human speech, so it’s often called the voice box.

Detailed explanation-2: -The LARYNX (voice box) contains your vocal cords. When moving air is breathed in and out, it creates voice sounds. The ESOPHAGUS is the passage leading from your mouth and throat to your stomach. The TRACHEA (windpipe) is the passage leading from your pharynx to the lungs.

Detailed explanation-3: -The area of the throat containing the vocal cords and used for breathing, swallowing, and talking. Also called voice box.

Detailed explanation-4: -When we speak muscles in the larynx bring the vocal cords together. As the air rushes from our lungs out through the larynx, the from portion of the vocal cords vibrate, producing a sound. The upper portion of our throat then modifies this sound to produce speech.

Detailed explanation-5: -The larynx, commonly called the voice box or glottis, is the passageway for air between the pharynx above and the trachea below. It extends from the fourth to the sixth vertebral levels. The larynx is often divided into three sections: sublarynx, larynx, and supralarynx.
