Larynx anatomy, artwork
Larynx anatomy. Artwork of the anatomy of the human larynx (voicebox) showing the production of vocal sounds (yellow arrows). The larynx is the lower part of the throat (lower centre) at the top of the trachea (windpipe). When the vocal cords in the larynx are tensed, air passing outwards from the lungs resonates and vibrates (white circles). These sounds pass upwards into the mouth, where the tongue, teeth and lips are used to shape specific vocal sounds and words (black waves (far right). Also shown here in cutaway section are the nasal passages. Food passing through the mouth passes down a different tube, the oesophagus, behind the trachea

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate anatomy of the human larynx, also known as the voicebox. The print highlights the process of producing vocal sounds through a series of yellow arrows, illustrating how air resonates and vibrates when passing through tense vocal cords in the larynx. These vibrations then travel upwards into the mouth where various components such as the tongue, teeth, and lips shape specific vocal sounds and words, depicted by black waves on the far right. The image also includes a cutaway section revealing nasal passages alongside an important distinction: food passes down a separate tube called the esophagus located behind the trachea. With its white background and detailed illustration, this print provides valuable insight into speech production and communication. Created by Science Photo Library, this artwork not only captures anatomical accuracy but also conveys its scientific significance with precision. It serves as a visual representation of our complex vocal system while emphasizing key elements such as sound waves, biological mechanisms, and biomechanics. Ideal for educational purposes or anyone fascinated by human biology, this print offers an engaging exploration into one's ability to speak and communicate effectively.
