The vocal folds, also known as vocal cords, are located within the larynx (also colloquially known as the voice box) at the top of the trachea. They are open during inhalation and come together to close during swallowing and phonation.
INTRODUCTION: Voice is an output of an extremely complex, multidimensional, and variable physiological phenomenon1. Even a small change in the anatomy of the vocal cords can change the quality of voice, which most commonly presents as hoarseness of voice. The evaluation of vocal fold anatomy, mu...
Thevocal folds' microanatomy has raised considerable interest, because its molecular composition and tissue organization determine the oscillatory function. Production of the human voice, with its large variety of sounds, relies on the unique laminar organization of its connective tissue. No other mammal...

The integrity of the underlying performance anatomy (including contractile elements, connective tissue, bone, and the neural substrate) is central to a discussion of motor proficiency during speech. In some instances, the accurate positioning of one structure (i.e., the lower lip) may be ...

[7,8]. In this case, the midline positioning of the vocal folds, as well as the presence of laryngeal myoclonus and the synchronous onset with other features of HOD, suggests that the pathologically adducted vocal fold positioning was dystonic in origin rather than secondary to vocal cord ...

In contrast to mammalian vocal folds, very few studies have quantified material properties relevant to sound production in the syrinx. The small size and anatomy of the zebra finch ML make it difficult to quantify its elastic properties by isolating the tissue in a uniaxial stretch apparatus as ...
