The muscle that reduces distance between thyroid and arytenoid cartilages and essentially shortens the vocal folds is the:

This suprahyoid muscle contributes to the formation of the floor of the oral cavity and can pull upward/forward on the hyoid bone.

The ventricular folds:

When considering vocal fold vibration, the medial surfaces of the vocal folds separate at the ____ first and return to midline at the ____ first.

These supplemental laryngeal muscles originate below the hyoid bone.

These joints enable the thyroid cartilage to move forward and tilt downwards on the cricoid cartilage and effectively allows the vocal folds to lengthen.

Laryngeal muscles that directly adduct/abduct vocal folds and change vocal fold length and stiffness/tension are considered:

The term “glottis” refers to:

Fundamental frequency (F0) is defined as:
