Question

Sound produced by the voice box is due to the vibrations of the:

• A. vocal cords
• B. wind pipe
• C. larynx
• D. pharynx

Answer 1

The correct option is A vocal cords

The voice box in the throat, called the larynx, is responsible for the production of sound. There are two membranes in the voice box. These membranes are called vocal cords. Sound produced by the voice box is due to the vibrations of the vocal cords. Vocal cords are stretched across the larynx in such a way that there exists a narrow slit between them which allows passage of air, when sound is produced.
