larynx definition and meaning

What is "larynx"?

The larynx, also known as the voice box, is a part of the human body located in the neck region. It plays a vital role in speech and respiration. The larynx houses the vocal cords, which vibrate when air passes through, producing sound and allowing us to speak. Additionally, it acts as a protective mechanism by preventing food and liquids from entering the airway during swallowing. The larynx is essential for vocalization and serves as a crucial anatomical structure in the human communication system.
