The larynx (/ËlÃ¦rÉªÅks/; plural larynges; from the Greek Î»Î¬ÏÏÎ³Î¾ lÃ¡rynx), commonly called the voice box, is an organ in the neck of tetrapods involved in breathing, sound production, and protecting the trachea against food aspiration.
The larynx, also known as the voice box, is the upper group of structures of the lower airway and opens with a number of cartilaginous structures. From anterior to posterior, these structures include the base of the epiglottis, the thyroid cartilage, and the aryepiglottic folds (Figure 20-5b and Figure 20-5c).
