- The larynx is a part of the respiratory system, it connects to the pharynx and the trachea, ait allows the air to pass from the throat through the trachea directly to the lungs.
It is in this structure where the vocal cords are found.
- The pharynx, also called throat, connects the mouth to the esophagus and also contributes to breathing and phonation because it connects the nasal cavity, the Eustachian tubes, and the larynx with the buccal cavity.
- The function of the sinuses is to increase the contact surface of the air with the epithelium of the nasal cavity, which allows it to humidify and warm the inhaled air. They also play a role in phonation.
These structures help reduce the relative mass of the skull, thus decreasing its weight, provide "shock resistance" in case of injury, and isolate sensitive structures from rapid temperature changes occurred during inhalation.
- The glottis is the space between the pharynx and larynx.
The only match that is incorrect is c. sinuses - remove dust particles
