The larynx, commonly known as the voice box, is a crucial structure in the human respiratory system located in the neck. It plays a key role in speech production, protecting the trachea against food aspiration, and facilitating breathing by allowing air to pass into the lungs. The larynx contains vocal cords that vibrate to produce sound when air is exhaled. Additionally, it is involved in regulating airflow during breathing and can help close off the airway during swallowing to prevent choking.

What is the structure which closes off the larynax is the?
The structure that closes off the larynx during swallowing is the epiglottis. This flap of cartilage folds down over the laryngeal opening to prevent food and liquids from entering the airway, directing them toward the esophagus instead. This protective mechanism helps to prevent choking and aspiration.
