The larynx is a complex anatomical organ comprised of many different soft and hard tissues that allow a human to articulate using sound, and breathe through a well-built filter. In addition to those functions, the larynx helps prevent food to go into the trachea, and eventually to the lungs.

It is in the larynx where you'll find the vocal folds, which helps us manipulate the pitch and volume of our voices. That is very important for phonation.

In this tutorial on the Larynx, we will cover structures using english and latin terminologies. We're going to be talking about the membranes, the ligaments, and also the muscles of the larynx.

We will give you a general overview of all of the structures combined into one tutorial so you can have a good understanding of the larynx, which is not an easy topic to learn.
