Detailed explanation-1: -Glottis-This is the space between the two vocal folds. When the vocal folds adduct, the glottis closes; when the vocal folds abduct, the glottis opens. The adjectives “glottal” and “glottic” are used to describe many aspects of vocal fold movement. The glottis opens and closes during vibration.

Detailed explanation-2: -The glottic airway is between the vocal folds. Just superior to the vocal folds are the false vocal folds. The posterior aspect of the larynx is lined by the arytenoids. The arytenoids form 2 “bumps” at the posterior aspect of the vocal folds and are separated by the intra-arytenoid notch.
