Larynx

The layrnx is more commonly known as the voice box or glottis. The larynx extends from the pharynx to the trachea. The larynx is divided into three sections:

# Sublarynx
# Larynx
# Supralarynx

The larynx plays an important role in speech. During speech, the vocal cords close and vibrate as air is passed through the larynx. The epiglottis serves to keep food and liquid from entering the larynx
