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.
Examples
1. The larynx was already making noise!
2. Your larynx creates the sound.
3. The larynx moves down back to original position.
4. And then right here is your larynx.
