0 an organ in humans and animals between the nose and the lungs that contains the muscles that move very quickly to create the voice or animal sounds
1 an organ in the throat which contains the vocal cords (= tissue that moves to produce the voice):
The acoustic waveform that reaches the ears is structured by the activity of several anatomical structures, including the lips, tongue, jaw, and larynx.
The characteristics were : hair, facial hair, larynx, voice, figure, height, skin, hands/feet, muscularity, chin, nose, jaw, speech, and gestures/movement.
As air breathing increased in importance, the vertebrate larynx strengthened to accommodate additional functions such as optimizing airflow and protecting the lungs from foreign matter.
Patients with more severe obstruction require continuous nasopharyngeal intubation with careful positioning of the bevel of the tube opposite the larynx.
This stretching can be accompanied by extreme lowering of the larynx (or extreme raising of the tongue, to uvular position).
Similar decreases in local tumor control are calculated for treatment protraction and for interruptions in the radiotherapy of carcinoma of the larynx in four centers.
The tumour sites included were oral cavity, oropharynx, larynx and hypopharynx.
At its upper end, the trachea enters the larynx, which in turn opens into the pharynx.
