Larynx - The vocal cords are the reason why the larynx is often called the sound box or the voice box. Here, muscular bands are arranged in a V-shaped structure.

Trachea (or windpipe) - is a wide, hollow tube that connects the larynx (or voice box) to the bronchi of the lungs.

Alveoli - Inhaled air passes through tiny ducts from the bronchioles into elastic air sacs (alveoli).

Epiglottis - is a flap that is made of elastic cartilage tissue covered with a mucous membrane and is attached to the entrance of the larynx.
