    Vocal Organs

    1.Chest-area and surrounding cavities

    The chest-area can easily be spotted. (put your hand on your heart) and you are right there!
    It is that part of your upper torso that is formed by the backbone, ribs, breast-bone and collar-bone.
    It is lined and covered with membranes
    It is supported and worked by muscles.
    Vital organs like the lungs, heart and principal arteries and veins are found here.

    2.Lung capacity / Lungs

    Lungs are vital organs to effect and enable life. We need to breathe and take in air to survive
    Our organs known as ‘lungs’ are conical shaped,
    They are made up of five lobes, honeycombed with hexagonal cells of various sizes
    Their main purpose is to contain air.
    Form and function work together to supply oxygen to, and take up carbon from, the blood.

    3.Your Beating Heart
    This muscle-organ is situated between the two lungs under the breast-bone, slightly inclined and positioned to the left.
    It mainly functions to regulate the passage of the blood;
    After passing through the lungs, the blood then passes through to the outmost outposts and extremities of the body
    Circulates through the heart to repeat the process all over again.

    4.Larynx
    It can be found at the top ring of the windpipe, the two shield cartilages, and epiglottis or lid.
    It contains the voice-box and vocal cords for producing sounds
    5.The vocal cords

    Often described as two slight, elastic bands
    They are both situated in the larynx,
    Immediately below the “Adam’s apple.”
    To produce sound they vibrate and are thrust forward into the air-stream escaping from the lungs

    6. The epiglottis

    The lid of the glottis
    Protective functioning mainly
    Prevents all foreign bodies from entering the larynx
    When you breathe it is raised
    It closes to allow food to pass over it into the gullet

    7. The soft palate.

    The curtain at the back of the mouth (membranous, muscular)
    Partitioning the mouth below and the nasal passages above it.
    How it functions:

    UP: When it is raised as high as possible, it closes the opening from the back of the mouth to the nostrils,
    the vocal current then finds its way and passes out entirely through the mouth

    DOWN: When it is allowed to fall upon the tongue, the passage to the mouth is closed, and the vocal current escapes by the nostrils, producing a nasal tone

    8.The Uvula.

    This is the pendent portion of the soft palate.


    9.The hard palate.

    The hard portion of the roof of the mouth
    It is above the upper teeth.
    10.The pharynx.

    The cavity into which the mouth and nose open.

    11.The diaphragm.

    This consists of two muscles and a central tendon, with a slanting direction from the breastbone to the loins.
    It forms a foundation on which the lungs rest (convex) and partitioning them from the abdominal organs (concave).
    It contracts, pressing the abdominal organs downward and outward,
    It makes room for the lungs to expand when you inhale.
    When you exhale it returns to its original spot and shape.
    It draws air out and allows the lungs to ‘collapse’ back to its rested state (deflate).
    It is like the bellows on an organ.

    11.The glottis.

    Mouth of the larynx (membranous or muscular crevice)
    The edges of the larynx which constitute the vocal cords or glottis lips.

    12.The trachea or windpipe


    A cylindrical, cartilaginous and membranous tube
    It is the common air passage to the lungs
    Partly situated in the neck and partly in the chest area
    Measures about four and a half inches in length.

    14. The ‘Articulate/Articulation’ organs

    Tongue, teeth and lips.
