Anchor the vocal folds and manipulate them to control pitch and create sound.

Laryngeal cavity that may enhance the quality of sound; also helps in protecting the vocal folds.

Help to close the larynx when swallowing, but do not vibrate during normal voice production.

This primary muscle of respiration contracts to draw air into the lungs, providing airflow for vocalization.

Supports the tongue and provides attachment for muscles involved in swallowing and speech.

Commonly called the voice box, it houses the vocal folds and manipulates pitch and volume.

Resonates sound produced by the vocal folds; also a pathway for air and food.

Provides a static surface against which the tongue can create pressure for certain speech sounds.

Resonates certain speech sounds, particularly nasal consonants like 'm', 'n', and 'ng'.

Carries air to and from the lungs; serves as the pathway for breath which powers the voice.

Primary organs of respiration; provide the airstream needed for phonation.

Alters the shape of the vocal tract, aiding in articulation and resonance.

Facilitates articulation, particularly of labial sounds like 'p', 'b', and 'm'; also affects resonance.

Provides attachment for laryngeal muscles and vocal folds; facilitates changes in tension and length of the vocal folds.

Covers the glottis during swallowing to prevent food from entering the trachea; indirectly involved in sound production.

Largest cartilage of the larynx, protects the vocal folds, and part of structure known as the Adam's apple.

Space between the vocal folds; the size of the glottis affects the quality of the voice and breath control.

They vibrate to produce sound; the tension and length of these folds affect pitch.

Its movement opens and closes the nasopharynx; elevated during speech to prevent nasal sounds except for specific nasal consonants.
