Detailed explanation-1: -Your larynx is a hollow tube that connects your throat (pharynx) to the rest of your respiratory system. It helps you swallow safely and contains the vocal cords, so it’s often called the voice box.
Detailed explanation-2: -The primary function of the larynx in humans and other vertebrates is to protect the lower respiratory tract from aspirating food into the trachea while breathing. It also contains the vocal cords and functions as a voice box for producing sounds, i.e., phonation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ligaments of the larynx The hyoepiglottic ligament extends from the midline of the superior surface of the epiglottis to the body of the hyoid bone, located anterosuperiorly. The cricotracheal ligament connects the lower border of the cricoid cartilage to the upper border of the first tracheal cartilage ring.
Detailed explanation-4: -The larynx is suspended above by the hyoid bone; The hyoid bone is the equivalent of the “wishbone” in a turkey. From the hyoid bone are muscles of swallowing, known as the strap muscles.
