What are vocal folds and how do they help make sound?

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 some names for the vocal chords?
The scientific name for the vocal chords is the larynx. ------------------------------------------------------ This is incorrect. The vocal CORDS (or folds, or even better, the scientific name: the thyroarytenoid muscle) are IN the larynx. The larynx is made of cartilage, one bone (the hyoid bone) and contain several muscles, including the vocal folds/cords/thyroartenoid muscle. There are parts of the vocal folds called the vocalis muscle as well. NEVER CHORDS. A chord is a series of pitches played together, as in "play chords on the guitar" but a cord is a string or rope-like structure. As for the larynx, feel your adam's apple (yes, women have one, too - it's just smaller in most women). THAT'S the part of the larynx that's called the thyroid cartilage, and is the "hallmark" of the larynx.

If air passing through the glottis vibrates the vocal folds, it produces sound. The pitch and quality of the sound is determined by factors such as the tension and length of the vocal folds, as well as the rate of vibration.
What are the two vocal folds found in the larynx?
The two vocal folds in the larynx are called the true vocal cords. They are responsible for producing sound through vibration when air passes through them during exhalation. The length and tension of the vocal cords can be adjusted to produce different pitches and tones.
