Question

select all that apply
indicate three structures that are associated with the larynx.
□ tonsils
□ thyroid cartilage
□ uvula
□ cricoid cartilage
□ vocal cords
□ bronchioles

Explanation:

• Thyroid cartilage: It is the largest cartilage of the larynx and forms the Adam's apple in humans.
• Cricoid cartilage: It is a ring - shaped cartilage that sits below the thyroid cartilage and is part of the laryngeal framework.
• Vocal cords: These are located within the larynx. They vibrate to produce sound.

• Tonsils are part of the lymphatic system in the throat (pharynx area) and not directly associated with the larynx.
• The uvula is a fleshy extension at the back of the soft palate (in the oral cavity - pharynx region) and not part of the larynx.
• Bronchioles are part of the lower respiratory tract (lungs) and not related to the larynx.

Answer:

thyroid cartilage, cricoid cartilage, vocal cords
