Larynx model with a moveable epiglottis, vocal cords and arytenoid cartilage to demonstrate voice function and swallowing. This functional larynx model shows the anatomy of the throat, specifically the larynx and its relative position to the thyroid gland, of which the left lobe is presented. The epiglottis, vocal cords and arytenoid cartilage are movable to demonstrate their function and the mechanisms of the human voice. The model can be used to demonstrate how the epiglottis closes down over the aperture of the larynx during swallowing to seal off the lower respiratory tract and prevent choking. The flexible arytenoid cartilage and vocal chords enable the user to show how the true glottis dilates and constricts during movements of the cricoarytenoid joint.
