- The larynx, or voice box, has multiple intrinsic muscles that control movement of the vocal folds. (medscape.com)
- It provides sensory innervations below the vocal cords and trachea and motor supply to all the intrinsic laryngeal muscles except cricothyroid. (medscape.com)
- The vocal cords are the upper opening into the windpipe (trachea), the passageway to the lungs. (chop.edu)

- The soft tissue neck X ray can show structures like the adenoids, vocal cords, trachea, tonsils and the epiglottis (the flap of tissue that covers your windpipe when you swallow) which are nearby. (everyhealthmatter.com)
- It can also show part of the trachea, the nasal and oral passage, the nasopharynx (where these two passageways meet), and the epiglottis (a flap that covers the trachea when you swallow). (everyhealthmatter.com)
- the vocal folds, or true vocal cords, are formed from the inferior layer of infolded membrane. (medscape.com)
- The free superior margin of this submucosal membrane is thickened to form the vocal ligament, which forms the vocal folds (true vocal cords) once covered by mucosa. (medscape.com)
- Instead, it sends the breath straight down your esophagus and onto the tongue, allowing the muscles surrounding your vocal cords to inflate properly. (77bongs.com)
