Air
A laryngoscope is placed through the glottis and will enter the trachea.
There are two vocal cords in the larynx of a human. They are muscle and cartilage structures that vibrate to produce sound when air passes through them.
During inspiration, air moving through the respiratory tract is called inhalation. This process involves the diaphragm and rib muscles contracting to expand the chest cavity, allowing air to enter the lungs.
No, food cannot pass through the larynx. The larynx is part of the respiratory system, responsible for producing sound and protecting the trachea during swallowing. Food passes through the esophagus to reach the stomach.
Trachea
Air
Air passes through the trachea to reach the voice box (larynx).
You hiccup.
Shower. Not really, you are forcing them through your larynx.

After passing through the larynx, air moves through the trachea, which then branches into the bronchial tubes. The bronchial tubes further branch into smaller airways called bronchioles, which ultimately lead to the alveoli where gas exchange occurs in the lungs.

A laryngoscope is placed through the glottis and will enter the trachea.
When air passes over the larynx, the vocal cords located within the larynx vibrate. These vibrations produce sound, which is then shaped into speech sounds as it travels through the vocal tract. The muscles in the larynx also play a role in controlling pitch and intensity of the voice.
The larynx or the sound box contains vocal cords which vibrate when air passes through it and thus helps us in speaking.
