What else can I help you with?
Brain covered with folds and grooves?
The brain is covered in ridges (gyri) ans grooves (sulci).
What is the function of the cricoid cartilage?
The thyroid cartilage forms the bulk of the anterior wall of the larynx, and serves to protect the vocal folds ("vocal cords") which are located directly behind it.
What organ has folds of skin covered with pubic hair?
That would be your vagina.
The opening into the larynx is partially covered by the what?
The opening into the larynx is partially covered by the glottis. When someone speaks, it causes the vocal folds to vibrate.
Why is a new stick of gum covered in aluminum paper?
It easily folds to the shape of the gum.
Is the cricoid cartilage near the vocal cords?
Yes, the cricoid cartilage is located near the vocal cords. It is situated below the thyroid cartilage and forms the base of the larynx, encircling the trachea. The vocal cords, or vocal folds, are located above the cricoid cartilage within the larynx. Thus, the cricoid cartilage plays a supportive role in the structure of the airway and the vocal apparatus.
What tissue make up the lip?
The lips are folds of skeletal muscle covered with transparent epithelium.
What happens to the larynx as you swallow the food you eat?
There is a piece of cartilage called the epiglottis which folds over the opening of the larynx as the person is swallowing. This prevents food from going into the windpipe.
What ear should you pierce for upper ear cartilage?
Its better to get it on which ever ear you don't sleep on or talk on the phone with to make healing easier. I'd put it on the less attractive ear. It'll distract from weird cartilage folds and whatnot. No such thing as a "gay ear".
What protects the vocal folds and anterior end of the larynx?
The vocal folds and anterior end of the larynx are protected primarily by the thyroid cartilage, which forms a shield-like structure around the larynx. Additionally, the epiglottis plays a crucial role by covering the laryngeal opening during swallowing, preventing food and liquids from entering the airway. Together, these structures help safeguard the vocal folds and maintain airway integrity.
What are the different types of folds used in origami?
The different types of folds used in origami include valley folds, mountain folds, reverse folds, squash folds, and petal folds.
What are two ligaments that extend from the thyroid to the arytenoid cartilage?
The two ligaments that extend from the thyroid cartilage to the arytenoid cartilage are the thyroarytenoid ligament and the vocal ligament. The thyroarytenoid ligament is part of the thyroarytenoid muscle, which helps in vocal fold tension and pitch modulation. The vocal ligament, which is a continuation of the elastic tissue of the thyroarytenoid, plays a crucial role in sound production by forming the core of the vocal folds.
