section::::function.









































the vestibular folds of the larynx play a significant role in the maintenance of the laryngeal functions of breathing and preventing food and drink from entering the airway during swallowing. they aid phonation (speech) by suppressing dysphonia. in some ethnic singing and chanting styles, such as in tibet and mongolia, the vestibular folds may be used in co-oscillation with the vocal folds, producing very low pitched sounds.
vestibular fold
the vocal apparatus consists of two pairs of mucosal folds. these folds are false vocal folds (vestibular folds) and true vocal folds (folds). the false vocal folds are covered by respiratory epithelium, while the true vocal folds are covered by stratified squamous epithelium. the false vocal folds are not responsible for sound production, but rather for resonance. the exceptions to this are found in tibetan chant and kargyraa, a style of tuvan throat singing. both make use of the false vocal folds to create an undertone. these false vocal folds do not contain muscle, while the true vocal folds do have skeletal muscle.
