False vocal cords are mucosal folds (inferior/superior) and (medial/lateral) to the true vocal cords? Superior; lateral
(True/False) vocal cords vibrate to produce sound as air passes? True vocal cords
(True/false) vocal cords have no part in sound production; help close the glottis during swallowing? Fals vocal cords
____ maneuver is when air is temporatily held in the lower respiratory tract by closing the glottis. This causes intra-abd pressure to (fall/rise)? Valsalva's maneuver; rise
Valsalva's maneuver can help with what three functions? Defecation, lifting heavy objects, child birth
The ____'s framework is made of C-shaped rings of cartilage? Trachea
