  1. true vocal fold

    The true vocal folds, also known as vocal cords, are twin infoldings of mucous membrane stretched horizontally across the larynx (voice box) in the throat. They vibrate to produce sound for speech and singing, and also function to protect the lungs by blocking the passage of food, drink and other particles during swallowing. The true vocal folds are responsible for our ability to vocalize and differentiate pitch and tone in our voice. Unlike the false vocal folds, the true vocal folds have muscle tissue that allows for their movement, making speech possible.
