10 Facts About Vocal cords

Vocal cords folds are located within the larynx at the top of the trachea.

Vocal cords folds are sometimes called 'true vocal folds' to distinguish them from the 'false vocal folds' known as vestibular folds or ventricular folds.

Vocal cords are composed of twin infoldings of 3 distinct tissues: an outer layer of flat cells that do not produce keratin.

The collagenous and reticular fibers in the newborn the vocal cords are fewer than in the adult one, adding to the immaturity of the vocal fold tissue.

Human vocal cords are paired structures located in the larynx, just above the trachea, which vibrate and are brought in contact during phonation.

Vocal cords found that the lamina propria monolayer at birth and shortly thereafter was hypercellular, thus confirming Hirano's observations.

The maturation of the vocal cords did not appear before 13 years of age, where the layers could be defined by their differential fiber composition rather than by their differential cellular population.

Adult vocal cords have a layered structure which is based on the layers differential in extracellular matrix distribution.

The term vocal cords was coined by the French anatomist Antoine Ferrein in 1741.

The Vocal cords spelling is standard in the United Kingdom and Australia.
