Epiglottis
The superior opening into the larynx is called the glottis. It is formed by the vocal folds and is responsible for regulating the passage of air into the respiratory system.
The vocal cords stretch across the opening of the larynx, when you speak muscles make the vocal cords contract, narrowing opening as air rushes through, movement of the vocal cords makes molecules vibrate.
The cartilage covering the opening of the larynx is called the epiglottis. It keeps food or liquids from entering the larynx when we swallow.
The larynx is at the superior (or cephalad) end of the trachea and is located just below the epiglottis and glottic opening. The trachea and larynx are connected and are typically in the same plane.
