Lexicon: Aryepiglottic Folds

26 December 2024 09:42 AM - By Josh

The Aryepiglottic Folds extend between the arytenoid cartilages and the lateral margins of the epiglottis, aiding in the prevention of aspiration by helping close the larynx during swallowing. A narrowing of this area may increase harmonics in the 2-4 kHz range during phonation, sometimes called the singer’s formant.
