Larynx: Hollow, tubular structure connecting the pharynx (in blue) with the trachea, through which air passes on the way to the lungs. The larynx consists of a framework of cartilage plates, with a ridge in front (Adam's apple); the epiglottis and the vocal cords, whose vibration produces the sound of the voice
Pharynx (hypopharynx): The area of the throat between the epiglottis and the larynx, corresponding to the height of the epiglottis and is a critical dividing point in separating solids and fluids from air entering the region.
Hard palate: The hard area of the roof of your mouth, just behind your teeth
Soft palate: The fleshy part at the back of the mouth
Trachea: The tube that connects the pharynx and larynx to the lungs, allowing the passage of air
Esophagus: The muscular tube that passes food from the pharynx to the stomach
Epiglottis: The flap-like cartilage that covers the trachea during swallowing to keep food and liquid from entering
Cave: The round shape at the back of the mouth
Adam’s apple: Common term used to describe the part of the larynx which protrudes from the front of the neck. More noticeable in men than women
Diaphragm: The dome-shaped muscle attached to the bottom of the lugs that separates your chest and stomach cavities. Its main function is to initiate inhalation
Solar plexus: Located at the center and base of the ribs, the soft part just above the stomach – the center of diaphragmatic power
Nodes: A type of polyp on the vocal cords that prohibits good singing. When vocal cords get irritated (fatigue, poor technique, infection, etc.), they swell. Singing repeatedly with swollen vocal cords causes nodes. Symptoms include frequent hoarseness or a constant sore throat. Treatment is usually vocal rest and in severe cases, vocal surgery.
