. The physiology of domestic animals ... Physiology, Comparative; Veterinary physiology. Fig. Human Larynx, as seen Fi»- 314.—Position of the Human Vocal with the Laryngoscope. (Landois.) Cords on Uttering a High Note. L., tongue: epiglottis; K, vallecula; S., glottis; (Landois.) L. v., true vocal cords; S. M., sinus Morgagni; L. v. s., false vocal cords; P., position of pharynx; S., cartilage of Santorini; W., cartilage of Wrisberg ; 5. p., sinus pyriformes. alone is capable, consists in certain modifications of the vocal sounds by the parts situated above the larynx ; that is, the pharynx, mouth, soft palate, nasal fossae, tongue, teeth, and lips. Speech may, therefore, be described as articulate voice. Voice is produced by the imparting of the vibrations of the vocal cords to the column of air within the respiratory organs. The means by which this is accomplished is entirely analogous to that by which sound is produced in reed instruments. The vocal cords consist of free rims of highly elastic membrane whose tension may be varied by muscular action and whose edges may be approximated or separated (Figs. 313 and 314). When the edges of the vocal cords are in close contact, through a strong muscular expiratory motion the air below the vocal cords becomes greatly condensed and finally its tension is sufficient to overcome the resistance of the closed vocal cords; when the vocal cords are thus.
