06/05/2025 The larynx acts like a valve in your throat—but it also gives your voice its unique sound and emotional depth. Discover how this small organ does big things in our animated explainer.

The recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) anatomy is designed to supply function to most muscles of the larynx (voice box). It branches from the vagus nerve (cranial nerve 10) but follows an unusual pathway ...

A physiologically-based scheme that incorporates inherent neurological fluctuations in the activation of intrinsic laryngeal muscles into a lumped-element vocal fold model is proposed. Herein, muscles ...

Two Cases of Paralysis of Intrinsic Muscles of the Larynx — Read before the Boston Society for Medical Observation, Dec. 21st, 1868, by F.i. Knight, M.D ...

What is the bottom line? Dynamic laryngeal narrowing during expiration is prevalent in subjects with moderate or severe COPD and relates to lung emptying and dynamic hyperinflation during exercise, ...

Pilates is hyped up for how it sculpts "long lines"—but whether the practice leads to muscle hypertrophy, or growth, versus muscular endurance is up for debate.

Electrical improvement with a Tensilon test or pyridostigmine bromide trial are the recommended criteria for diagnosing laryngeal myasthenia gravis (MG), according to a retrospective case-control ...

Learn about survival rates for the stages of laryngeal cancer and what factors may affect your outlook with the condition.

Further physiological studies have now specifically demonstrated articular reflex influences on the intrinsic laryngeal muscles from the afferent nerves supplying the cricothyroid and ...

During speech, vocal folds vibrate due to intrinsic laryngeal muscle movement. In some cases, like mutism from apraxia, individuals may have normal vocal fold vibration without sound production due to ...
