Larynx

The larynx (or voicebox) is part of the respiratory system involved in voice production. It consists of cartilage, membranous tissue and muscles. It has vocal chords which in humans help in speech generation. The muscles are supplied by laryngeal nerve some times involved in cancer or throat surgeries.
