Description

The interactive larynx consists of three files: 1) thyroid cartilage and epiglottis, 2) cricoid and tracheal cartilage, 3) right and left arytenoid cartilage. Peg and socket articulations allow for interactive demonstration of thyroid pivoting and arytenoid rotation. Hook and loop additions allow for the addition of an elastic band to simulate and demonstrate vocal cord dynamics.
