    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.
