An organ of the neck of mammals involved in breath control, protection of the trachea and sound production, housing the vocal cords, and that is situated at the point where the upper tract splits into the trachea and the oesophagus/esophagus.
“Five sections then follow, focusing on laryngology, rhinology, otology, orofacial and lower airway surgery.”
“Martin Birchall, professor of laryngology at University College London, was part of the team which gave Ms Jensen back the gift of speech.”

“One of our members celebrated being a Laryngectomee for forty years, which is probably one of the longest times in history for anybody to survive throat cancer.”
“To test durability, they implanted the gel in dogs, whose larynges are similar to those of humans.”
“Karajanagi and the team test stiffness by implanting the gel in calf's larynges, which they get from local slaughterhouses, and attaching them to a synthetic windpipe.”
“Materials and methods: To validate our laryngeal model, five porcine larynges were excised and placed on a test bench consisting of a blower and a laser photoglottometer for measurement of vocal cord vibration.”
