Question

sketch larynx and explain it's function in words...

Answer 1

Hey there !

Larynx is a part of the throat. It is responsible for production of sound. A sketch of a human larynx is shown in the following figure.

Larynx moves when we swallow something. Inside the larynx, there are two vocal cords. There is a small gap between them. This small gap allows air to pass through. When we speak, air is forced into this small gap by the lungs. This prompts vocal cords to vibrate. Since vibrating objects produce sound, sound is produced due to the vibration of vocal cords.

Hope it helps you !

❤❤here is your answer ✌ ✌

Larynx:- It is an organ in your throat (all mammals and tetrapods) involved in breathing and sound production (Speech in humans.)

*It has several functions which are listed below. The three basic functions are:-

➡Generation of sound including voice pitch and volume.

➡The airway passage is guarded by it hence keeping the passage open for breathing.

➡While eating the entrance to larynx is shut which prevents food from entering the windpipe therefore preventing choking.
