Also known as voice box

The larynx (: larynges or larynxes), commonly called the voice box, is an organ in the top of the neck involved in respiration, producing sound and protecting the trachea against food aspiration. The opening of the larynx into the pharynx, known as the laryngeal inlet, is about 4–5 centimeters in diameter. The larynx houses the vocal cords, and manipulates pitch and volume, which is essential for phonation. It is situated just below where the tract of the pharynx splits into the trachea and the esophagus.

AI overview

The larynx, commonly called the voice box, is an organ in your neck that plays three important roles: it helps you breathe, produces sound by controlling your vocal cords, and prevents food from entering your windpipe. Located just below where your pharynx splits into your trachea and esophagus, the larynx controls the pitch and volume of your voice, which is essential for speaking and singing.
