The larynx /ˈlærɪŋks/ (plural larynges; from the Greek λάρυγξ lárynx), commonly called the voice box, is an organ in the neck of amphibians, reptiles, and mammals involved in breathing, sound production, and protecting the trachea against food aspiration. It manipulates pitch and volume. The larynx houses the vocal folds (vocal cords), which are essential for phonation. The vocal folds are situated just below where the tract of the pharynx splits into the trachea and the oesophagus.
There are nine cartilages, three unpaired and three paired, that support the mammalian larynx and form its skeleton.
Unpaired cartilages:
The human body is the entire structure of a human being and comprises a head, neck, trunk (which includes the thorax and abdomen), arms and hands, legs and feet. Every part of the body is composed of various types of cells, the fundamental unit of life.
At maturity, the estimated average number of cells in the body is given as 37.2 trillion. This number is stated to be of partial data and to be used as a starting point for further calculations. The number given is arrived at by totalling the cell numbers of all the organs of the body and cell types. The composition of the human body is made up of a number of certain elements including carbon, calcium and phosphorus.
The study of the human body involves anatomy and physiology. The human body can show anatomical non-pathological anomalies known as variations which need to be able to be recognised. Physiology focuses on the systems and their organs of the human body and their functions. Many systems and mechanisms interact in order to maintain homeostasis.
http://www.anatomyzone.com 3D anatomy tutorial on the cartilages of the larynx using the Zygote Body Browser (http://www.zygotebody.com). This is an introduction to the larynx, describing the cartilaginous framework. The epiglottis, thyroid, cricoid, arytenoid, corniculate and cuneiform cartilages are described in relation to each other and other structures. This is a good starting point for learning about the framework of the larynx. The next tutorial will cover the membranes, ligaments and vocal cords and the final tutorial will talk about muscles of the larynx in relation to it's function.

http://www.anatomyzone.com 3D anatomy tutorial on the membranes, ligaments and vocal cords using the BioDigital Human (http://www.biodigitalhuman.com). In this tutorial I talk about extrinsic and intrinsic ligaments of the larynx, and describe the relationship of the mucosal folds with these ligaments to form the vocal cords. Please watch the tutorial on the cartilages of the larynx before watching this one, as it will help if you are not familiar with the various structures!

An explanation of the cartilaginous structure of the larynx, the intrinsic muscles, and the way those muscles work to produce and control sound
We discuss the anatomy of the larynx.
This video explains the cartilage pieces that are contained within the larynx including placement and function. It is aimed at students completing the 2nd year ENT block. It corresponds with the laryngeal anatomy lecture given during this block and should be used in conjunction with this teaching rather than exclusively. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- © University of Dundee School of Medicine 2015.

We've had a great response to our last set of videos so far, so we're thrilled that some of you are finding them helpful! One of the first year dental students contacted us two days ago asking if we could help out with the larynx, so this is the third of five videos covering the laryngeal cartilages and membranes, the muscles and the vessels & nerves that supply it. Hope they help!If you'd like to contact us, email anatomyroom@gmail.com. More detailed blurb below! Welcome to our series of videos on head & neck anatomy. We created these videos to help some of our current students with specific problems that they contacted us about, but that means that this is not a complete video course on the anatomy of the head & neck. That said, as we were recording them we realised that they may be use...
