The larynx is largely constructed of several different kinds of cartilage and ligaments. Intrinsic musculature is also used to connect the different pieces of cartilage.
The protective tissue
NO
The larynx is primarily composed of cartilage, specifically the thyroid, cricoid, and arytenoid cartilages. These cartilages are supported by connective tissue and muscles, which give structure and facilitate movement within the larynx.
bronchi
If cancer of the larynx develops, a laryngectomy is performed to remove tumors or cancerous tissue.
The epiglottis
Epiglottis
The flap of tissue at the bottom of the larynx is the epiglottis. Its main function is to cover the opening of the trachea during swallowing to prevent food or liquid from entering the airway and lungs.
The thin strips of tissue in your larynx are called vocal cords. They are essential for producing sound when air passes through them and causes them to vibrate.
