The area of the throat containing the vocal cords and used for breathing, swallowing, and talking. Also called larynx.

Answer. Explanation: Woman will produce sound with higher pitch. If the frequency of vibration is higher the sound has high pitch and if the frequency of vibration is lower the sound has low pitch.

By the time they’re adults, most females have vocal cords that are between 12.5 millimeters (mm) and 17.5 mm long; adult males usually have longer vocal cords, between 17 mm and 25 mm in length.

Voice box: The voice box, or larynx, is the portion of the respiratory (breathing) tract containing the vocal cords which produce sound. It is located between the pharynx and the trachea. The larynx, also called the voice box, is a 2-inch-long, tube-shaped organ in the neck.

Your trachea, or windpipe, is one part of your airway system. Airways are pipes that carry oxygen-rich air to your lungs. They also carry carbon dioxide, a waste gas, out of your lungs. When you inhale, air travels from your nose, through your larynx, and down your windpipe.

The larynx, also known as the voice box, opens to help you to breathe. When you swallow, it keeps food out of the trachea, which is the windpipe. Air passing through the larynx causes the vocal cords to vibrate, producing sound. With the help of your mouth, teeth, tongue, and lips, that sound becomes your voice.

Restoring speech after total laryngectomy Total laryngectomy removes your larynx (voice box), and you won’t be able to speak using your vocal cords. After a laryngectomy, your windpipe (trachea) is separated from your throat, so you can no longer send air from your lungs out through your mouth to speak.

Laryngitis – Laryngitis caused by a viral infection usually goes away within one to three weeks. Laryngitis from vocal abuse usually goes away on its own in a few days with voice rest.

During puberty the larynx get bigger which causes your voice to get deeper and crack and also you get an Adam apple. For Boys it could happen as young as age 10 or as old as age 15 average age 12.5. Why it because of puberty and due to increased of testosterone and voice box expand and gets bigger.

Takeaway. If you don’t like the way your voice sounds, there are several ways to change it. These include at-home vocal exercises, emulating a voice you like, working with a voice coach, and surgery.

When we hit puberty, hormones invariably cause the voice to change. During this time the vocal folds lengthen and thicken, causing them to resonate at a lower frequency, which produces a deeper pitch (think of the strings on a guitar).
