RESPIRATION AND THE VOICE.

The Organs of Respiration and the Voice are the _larynx_, the
_trachea_, and the _lungs_.

DESCRIPTION OF THE ORGANS OF THE VOICE.--l. _The Larynx_.--In the
neck, is a prominence sometimes called Adam's apple. It is the front of
the _larynx_. This is a small triangular, cartilaginous box, placed
just below the root of the tongue, and at the top of the windpipe. The
opening into it from the throat is called the _glottis_; and the
cover, the _epiglottis_ (_epi_, upon; _glotta_, the tongue). The
latter is a spoon-shaped lid, which opens when we breathe, but, by
a nice arrangement, shuts when we try to swallow, and so lets our
food slip over it into the _sophagus_ (e-sof'-a-gus), the tube leading
from the pharynx to the stomach (Fig. 27).
