Question

Where is sound produced in humans?

A.

Windpipe

B.

Vocal cords

C.

Larynx

D.

Abdomen

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Larynx
Explanation:
· In humans, the sound is produced by the larynx, also known as the voice box.
· It is located at the upper end of the windpipe.
· Two vocal cords are stretched across the larynx in such a way that it leaves a narrow slit between them for the passage of air, causing vibration and sound.
Information Booster:
· The larynx also acts as a valve to prevent food from entering the trachea during swallowing.
· In males, the larynx grows larger during puberty, often called the Adam's apple.
Additional Knowledge:
· Trachea (Windpipe): The tube connecting the larynx to the lungs.
· Abdomen: The part of the body between the thorax and pelvis.
