Best Answer

Glottal closure is the act of the vocal folds contracting and approximating to close over the glottis to ensure foreign bodies do not enter the trachea. This can be compromised by growths on the vocal folds (such as nodules) as well as by neurological damage to the nerves supplying the vocal folds.
