are mucous membranes in the vocal cord
Main article: Vestibular fold. The vocal folds are sometimes called 'true vocal folds' to distinguish them from the 'false vocal folds' known as vestibular folds or ventricular folds. These are a pair of thick folds of mucous membrane that protect and sit slightly superior to the more delicate true folds. Parts of the vocal cord. 1  Anterior Portion: Starts at the anterior commissure and goes posteriorly 1/3 of the vocal cords. 2  Middle Third: part that is between the anterior and posterior thirds.  Posterior third: comprises the portion of the vocal cord that includes the arytenoid cartilages. The vocal folds, also known commonly as vocal cords or voice reeds, are composed of twin infoldings of mucous membrane stretched horizontally, from back to front, across the larynx. They vibrate, modulating the flow of air being expelled from the lungs during phonation. This is the false vocal cord. The second fold is the vocal fold and this is the true vocal cord. The true vocal cord can be seen as a white structure and the vestibular folds can be seen as a more pinkish structure. These folds divide up the larynx into three major compartments. 1 NOTE: the structure still moves depending on what configuration we want, but the mucous membranes is what is creating the vibrations.  Anterior Portion: Starts at the anterior commissure and goes posteriorly 1/3 of the vocal cords. The male vocal folds are between 1.75 cm and 2.5 cm (approx 0.75 to 1.0) in length, while female vocal folds are between 1.25 cm and 1.75 cm (approx 0.5 to 0.75) in length. The vocal cords of children are much shorter than those of adult males and females. This is this fold here. And then you've got the vocal fold where the mucosa folds over the vocal ligament. The vestibular fold here, which folds over the vestibular ligament is referred to as the false vocal cord and the vocal cord which folds over the vocal ligament is called the true vocal cord. 1 the mucous membrane of the vocal folds are vibrating. 2  NOTE: the structure still moves depending on what configuration we want, but the mucous membranes is what is creating the vibrations.
