Vocal cords, artwork
Vocal cords. Computer artwork of a rear view of the larynx (purple/grey), also known as the voice box, and the vocal cords (centre). At top is the hyoid bone (white, crescent-shaped), with the epiglottis (red, upper centre) in front of it. Beneath the larynx are the thyroid cartilage (pink) and trachea (windpipe, white). The vocal cords are responsible for the production of sound, and when brought close together they vibrate and emit sounds as air is expelled from the lungs

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures the intricate beauty of the human vocal cords, offering a unique perspective from behind the larynx. In stunning shades of purple and grey, this computer-generated image showcases the vital components responsible for our ability to speak and produce sound. At the top of the composition, we see the elegant hyoid bone in its crescent-shaped form, accompanied by the vibrant red epiglottis just above it. Moving downwards, our attention is drawn to the central focus of this artwork - the vocal cords themselves. These delicate structures are depicted in their relaxed state but hold immense power when brought together during speech or singing. As air is expelled from our lungs, these vibrating vocal cords emit sounds that give life to our words. The surrounding elements provide further context to this remarkable anatomical illustration. The pink thyroid cartilage and white trachea (windpipe) lie beneath the larynx while maintaining their crucial roles in supporting respiration. This comprehensive portrayal also includes other essential features such as mucous membranes, pharynx, and cartilaginous rings that contribute to overall throat health. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured both scientific accuracy and artistic brilliance within this print. It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with understanding ourselves at an intimate biological level while reminding us of how effortlessly we communicate through voice alone.
