The vocal folds, also known commonly as vocal cords or voice reeds, are composed of twin infoldings of mucous membrane stretched horizontally, from back to front, across the larynx. They vibrate, modulating the flow of air being expelled from the lungs during phonation.
Open when breathing and vibrating for speech or singing, the folds are controlled via the vagus nerve.
Structure
The vocal folds are located within the larynx at the top of the trachea. They are attached posteriorly to the arytenoid cartilages, and anteriorly to the thyroid cartilage. They are part of the glottis which includes the rima glottidis. Their outer edges are attached to muscle in the larynx while their inner edges, or margins are free, forming the opening called the rima glottidis. They are constructed from epithelium, but they have a few muscle fibres in them, namely the vocalis muscle which tightens the front part of the ligament near to the thyroid cartilage. They are flat triangular bands and are pearly white in color. Above both sides of the glottis are the two vestibular folds or false vocal folds which have a small sac between them.
Larynx - Ligaments, Membranes, Vocal Cords - 3D Anatomy Tutorial
3D anatomy tutorial on the membranes, ligaments and vocal cords.
In this tutorial I talk about extrinsic and intrinsic ligaments of the larynx, and describe the relationship of the mucosal folds with these ligaments to form the vocal cords. Please watch the tutorial on the cartilages of the larynx before watching this one, as it will help if you are not familiar with the various structures!
