Voice organ

Have you ever seen a person singing or talking and noticed that there's something moving inside their throat? That's called the voice organ. It's made up of different parts in the throat and mouth that work together to create sounds that we use when we speak or sing.

When we talk or sing, air travels from our lungs into a space called the larynx (pronounced LAIR-inks), which is part of the voice organ. The larynx has two small flaps of tissue called vocal cords (or vocal folds). These vocal cords vibrate as the air passes through them, creating different sounds depending on how tightly they're held together and how much air is passing through them.

The mouth and the tongue also play a big role in creating different sounds. The tongue, for example, can be moved in different positions to create different types of sounds. The lips and the teeth can also be used to modify sounds, allowing us to create words and sentences.

So, in short, the voice organ is what allows us to speak and sing. It's made up of different parts in the throat and mouth that work together to create sounds.
