The international airport of New Orleans was originally named Moisant Field and the MSY identification comes from the airportâs origins as Moisant Stock Yards, the name given to the land where the U. S. aviator John Bevins Moisant (Illinois 1868 â New Orleans 1910) crashed where the airport was later built.
Human VF are paired structures located in the larynx, just above the trachea, which vibrate and are brought in contact during phonation. The human VF are roughly 12 â 24 mm in length, and 3â5 mm thick. Histologically, the human VF are a laminated structure composed of five different layers.
The voice box, or larynx, houses two elastic vocal cords atop the windpipe. The cords close when people swallow, protecting the airway. They open when people breathe. And they come together and vibrate when people speak or sing. Paralysis or weakness of a vocal cord can occur when the nerve that supplies it is damaged. This nerve, the recurrent laryngeal nerve, is famously circuitous, looping down into the chest before heading back up to the voice box.
