vocal cord
The vocal cords, also known as vocal folds, are two bands of elastic muscle tissue located in the larynx (or voice box) at the top of the trachea. They vibrate at varying speeds and tension levels to produce sounds for speech or singing. These vibrations are influenced by the volume or pitch to produce different sounds. When the vocal cords are not in use, they stay open to allow breathing.
