A Pair of Ligaments Covered by Laryngeal Epithelium That Function

Question

A pair of ligaments covered by laryngeal epithelium that function in sound production are the
A) intrinsic ligaments.
B) extrinsic ligaments.
C) ventricular folds.
D) vocal folds.
E) intrinsic laryngeal muscles.

Accepted Answer

The ligaments that function in sound production are the vocal folds, also known as the true vocal cords. They are covered by laryngeal epithelium and can be controlled by intrinsic laryngeal muscles to produce sound. The extrinsic ligaments, intrinsic ligaments, and ventricular folds also play a role in supporting the larynx and regulating airflow, but they are not directly involved in sound production.
