The lar}-nx is connected by muscles with the sternum,oesophagus, base of the skull, hyoid bone, lower jaw, andtongue. This organ is supplied with a large number of blood-vessels, and it likewise receives nerves from the sympatheticsystem, and two large nerves from the tenth pair. The num-ber and size of the nervous filaments distributed to themucous membrane of the larx, render it more sensitivethan any other portion of the respiratory organs. How is the glottis enlarged or .contracted ? Explain fig. lOG. 594. Bywhat means and to what organs is the larynx connected ? Why is thelarynx more sensitive than other parts
