Vocal cords (vocal folds)

The vocal cords, also known as vocal folds, are two bands of muscle located in the larynx (voice box) of the throat. When air passes through the vocal cords, they vibrate, producing sound waves that are then shaped into speech by the mouth, tongue, and lips. The vocal cords are essential for speaking, singing, and other forms of vocalization.
