The larynx (voice box) is located at the top of the trachea (windpipe). The larynx contains the vocal cords. Vocal cords vibrate and allow us talk and sing. The opening to the larynx is covered by a large muscular flap called the epiglottis. The epiglottis covers the windpipe when we swallow, to prevent food from entering the trachea. The muscles of the larynx also help close the opening to the airway.
