Did you know

That there's actually a box inside your mouth to help you talk?

 

DUN DUN DUUNNNNN!!!

Your voice box, or larynx, is a hollow tubular structure made of cartilage. It is connected to the top of your windpipe.

Inside your voice box are two bands of tissue that form your vocal cords. When you speak or sing, muscles pull these cords together. The air passing through the cords makes them vibrate. You can hear these vibrations as sounds.

The shorter your vocal cords are and the faster they vibrate, the higher the sound you produce. In both girls and boys the voice box and vocal cords grow during puberty and cause their voices to deepen. In girls, this change may be hardly noticeable with their voices dropping by just a couple of tones. But boys' voice boxes grow considerably. They also tilt to a different angle in the neck and can start to stick out as a prominent 'Adam's Apple'. Boys' voices can drop by as much as an octave.

 

you know,if you feel your throat when you swallow you can feel the larynx go up and down.

 

I believe it's called the larynx, my good friend. When you can't talk, they call it LARYNgitis.
