Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The vocal cords or vocal folds are part of the larynx or voice box, which is part of the laryngeal system of production. The laryngeal system is responsible for phonation, or the production of sound through vibration of the vocal folds. The respiratory system provides the air supply for phonation, and the supralaryngeal system (including the tongue, lips, and jaw) shapes the sound into speech. However, the vocal cords themselves are specifically part of the laryngeal system. Therefore, the correct answer is B) laryngeal.
