commonly known as the voice box or "adams apple" and it main function is to prevent choking
The larynx or voice box is a passageway for inhaled and exhaled air.
The larynx is also known as the voice box. The two functions of the larynx is in voice production and to protect the airways and lungs during swallowing.
The larynx is your voice box. Its main job is to produce sound. It also provides a mechanism to prevent food entering the airway when we swallow.
air passageway, and prevent food from entering lower respiratory tract.
Larynx
The larynx (voicebox) is responsible for speech in humans, due to vibrations from exhaled air.
They function in the process of speech production. Each performing different specific functions
Larynx...
The respiratory and digestive systems separate at the larynx, making it a vital organ in the function of both. Another primary function of the voice box is producing sounds and speech. Function in the respiratory system: Providing smooth passage of air from the nasal cavity to the lungs
Speech is considered as an overlaid function because the primary function of the organs involved in speech production is not speech! For example Larynx is just a valve to prevent foreign bodies from entering the trachea and its primary function is not speech. The same applies for all the other organs of speech production. Therefore speech is considered as overlaid function.

Breathe and limited sound production. "Basal" birds like chickens rely on the larynx more than the syrynx to produce sounds.

1) provides a patent (open) airway. 2) acts as a switching mechanism to route air/food to the proper channels. 3) voice production

Speech
Speech sounds are produced in the larynx through the vibration of the vocal cords when air passes through them. The vibration creates sound waves that are then shaped into specific sounds by the movement of the articulators, such as the tongue, lips, and teeth. The pitch, volume, and quality of the sound are determined by the tension and length of the vocal cords.
