Vocal cords, or vocal folds, are two bands of smooth muscle tissue located in the larynx (voice box). They appear as thin, elongated structures that are typically pale pink in color. When viewed under a microscope, they have a layered structure consisting of an outer epithelium, a middle layer of connective tissue, and an inner muscular layer. When air passes through them, they vibrate to produce sound, which is shaped into speech by the mouth and throat.
