Larynx - here, muscular bands are arranged in a V-shape structure. These are the vocal cords or the vocal folds and are the reason why the larynx is often called the sound box or the voice box.

The 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).

The 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.
