The expanded upper end of the windpipe or trachea ,
connected with the hyoid bone or cartilage .
It contains the vocal cords ,
which produce the voice by their vibrations ,
when they are stretched and a current of air passes between them .
The larynx is connected with the pharynx by an opening ,
the glottis ,
which ,
in mammals ,
is protected by a lidlike epiglottis .

Note :
In the framework of the human larynx ,
the thyroid cartilage ,
attached to the hyoid bone ,
makes the protuberance on the front of the neck known as Adam '
s apple ,
and is articulated below to the ringlike cricoid cartilage .
This is narrow in front and high behind ,
where ,
within the thyroid ,
it is surmounted by the two arytenoid cartilages ,
from which the vocal cords pass forward to be attached together to the front of the thyroid .

Syrinx }.
