The voice apparatus is the organ of speech (the second human signal system). The voice apparatus is located in the larynx and consists of two vocal cords, between which there is a voice gap. The tension of the vocal cords changes due to the contraction of the muscles attached to them, with the vocal chord widening or narrowing. The sound is formed from the vibration of the vocal cords, when the vocal cricle is narrowed.
