What structure contains the vestibular and vocal folds?
the vocal chords are located in the larynx. Another name for the larynx is the voice box, and inside it are the vocal chords. Vocal chords are thin bands of tissue that vibrate when exhaled air rushes past them; this enables you to make sounds when you speak or sing. Dr.henzworth
What are the functions of the larynx?
The larynx works with air from your lungs to let you talkThe larynx basically conduct air so that it can reach the lower respiratory system.The larynx also houses the vocal folds/cords which help produce one's voice.
What is the relationship between expiration and larynx?
Sound is generated in the larynx, and that is where pitch and volume are manipulated. The strength of expiration from the lungs also contributes to loudness, and is necessary for the vocal folds to produce speech .
What is the source of vibration in the speech organ?
The vocal folds in the larynx are what cause the vibrations needed for producing speech. If a person's larynx has been removed or their vocal folds are paralyzed, then an external source of vibration is needed to produce the starting sound. Then all they have to do then is to mouth the words just like they did when they could speak.
How do vocal cords produce sound?
The vocal cords (or vocal folds) are two pairs of membranes stretched across the larynx, the thicker pair protecting the thinner pair, which may be pulled tight to produce sound through vibration as air is passed between them. Their tension may be finely controlled in order to produce sounds of varying pitch, and can be closed together completely to hold your breath. While not being used for these purposes, they remain relaxed and open to allow breathing. The true focal folds are protected by a second pair of ' false folds'. These secondary, thicker folds play a much smaller part in producing sound, principally when producing deep, low sounds.
How does the larynx make sound?
When air from the lungs is passed over the vocal cords inside the larynx, they vibrate. This makes a sound. The vocal cords are tightened or relaxed to change their length. This changes the speed of vibration which alters the pitch. If only the larynx is involved, the sound comes out as a dull 'aaah' in varying pitch. No recognisable words can be formed without the use of the lips, teeth, tongue and palate. This is why people with serious facial injuries or with many teeth missing often have trouble speaking or being understood.
How muscles are used to speak one word?
Normal human speech is produced with pulmonary pressure provided by the lungs which creates phonation in the glottis in the larynx that then is modified by the vocal tract into different vowels and consonants. The lung (the pump) must produce adequate airflow and air pressure to vibrate vocal folds (this air pressure is the fuel of the voice). The vocal folds (vocal cords) are a vibrating valve that chops up the airflow from the lungs into audible pulses that form the laryngeal sound source. The muscles of the larynx adjust the length and tension of the vocal folds to 'fine tune' pitch and tone. The articulators (the parts of the vocal tract above the larynx consisting of tongue, palate, cheek, lips, etc.) articulate and filter the sound emanating from the larynx and to some degree can interact with the laryngeal airflow to strengthen it or weaken it as a sound source.
