Larynx is present on tip of trachea and is made up of cartilages. It is a short tubular chamber and opens into the laryngopharynx by a slit-like aperture called glottis. It is more prominent in male than female due to male hormones. Inside the larynx, vocal cords are present. Sound is produced by true vocal cords.
