The larynx (voice box) is part of the respiratory system that holds the vocal cords. It is responsible for producing voice, helping us swallow and breathe. The trachea, also called windpipe, is a tube that connects the pharynx and larynx to the lungs, allowing the passage of air. The alveoli are tiny air sacs within the lungs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place. The epiglottis is a flexible flap at the superior end of the larynx in the throat. It acts as a switch between the larynx and the esophagus to permit air to enter the airway to the lungs and food to pass into the gastrointestinal tract.
