It next passes into the lungs when we breathe in, and out through the trachea, the larynx and the mouth and nose when we breathe out.
Air
The opening between the vocal cords at the upper part of the larynx is the glottis.
After the air passes through the pharynx, it enters the larynx, which is commonly known as the voice box. The larynx plays a crucial role in directing air into the trachea, allowing for proper airflow to the lungs. It also aids in the production of sound.
There are two vocal cords in the larynx of a human. They are muscle and cartilage structures that vibrate to produce sound when air passes through them.
During inspiration, air moving through the respiratory tract is called inhalation. This process involves the diaphragm and rib muscles contracting to expand the chest cavity, allowing air to enter the lungs.
Trachea
Air
Air passes through the trachea to reach the voice box (larynx).
You hiccup.
Shower. Not really, you are forcing them through your larynx.

After passing through the larynx, air moves through the trachea, which then branches into the bronchial tubes. The bronchial tubes further branch into smaller airways called bronchioles, which ultimately lead to the alveoli where gas exchange occurs in the lungs.

vibration
When air passes over the larynx, the vocal cords located within the larynx vibrate. These vibrations produce sound, which is then shaped into speech sounds as it travels through the vocal tract. The muscles in the larynx also play a role in controlling pitch and intensity of the voice.
