Question 1 of 21
1. Question
Your two vocal cords shape a V when they are fully open. They are anchored to your wildly-shaped cartilage Adam’s apple, your larynx. When you speak, your vocal cords close so they have a tiny gap. When the air from your lungs goes through them, this causes the cords to vibrate. This is what produces the basic sound of your voice. (See further down in the article if you need to.)

4. Question
A few facts:
- When the vocal cords are abducted, two hinge-like parts swing to the sides spreading the cords like a V. (See the diagram.)
- Men have a bigger larynx (Adam’s apple) because their vocal cords are longer and they need the “extra reach” to open them fully. (Talk to parents if you need to get help here… Study the diagrams.)
- You can see the wind pipe’s (the trachea) cartilage rings through the vocal cords.

Question 20 of 21
20. Question
The power-roar of lions is actually caused by how the vocal cords are designed–by the intensely complicated structure of the vocal cords. These vocal cords give the lions their distinct sound. The lion’s vocal cords are designed a little like a human baby’s. The cords have a good amount of fat that helps the cords to vibrate like they do. In a 90-second roaring session, it will roar about 50 times! Because of this, the cords use the airflow of the lion’s lungs so well that they can hit 214 decibels! This is 25 times as loud as a gas lawnmower!
