The movement of the larynx up and down is primarily controlled by the action of various muscles, including the extrinsic muscles attached to the larynx from the outside. These muscles contract and relax to adjust the position of the larynx, allowing for functions such as swallowing, breathing, and speaking. Additionally, coordination between the brain and the nerves that innervate these muscles plays a crucial role in controlling the movement of the larynx.

How are speech sounds produced in the larynx?

Speech sounds are produced in the larynx through the vibration of the vocal cords when air passes through them. The vibration creates sound waves that are then shaped into specific sounds by the movement of the articulators, such as the tongue, lips, and teeth. The pitch, volume, and quality of the sound are determined by the tension and length of the vocal cords.
