Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The vocal folds, also known as vocal cords, are located within the larynx (also colloquially known as the voice box) at the top of the trachea.
Detailed explanation-3: -What are vocal cords (vocal folds)? Your vocal cords are two bands of muscle inside your voice box (larynx) that allow you to vocalize, or make sounds. Your voice box sits atop your windpipe (trachea), the tube that allows air to flow to and from your lungs.
