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: -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.
