This document describes the main parts of the vocal organ involved in speech production. It outlines the lips, teeth, tongue, alveolar ridge, hard palate, velum, pharynx, lungs, larynx, and vocal cords as key articulators. Each part plays a specific role, such as the lips and teeth forming labial and dental sounds, while the vocal cords are responsible for voice and voicelessness when producing speech sounds.

VOCAL CORDS (VOCAL FOLDS)
◐ Are the folds of tissues in the
throat that are key in creating sounds through vocalization. The size of vocal cords affects pitch of voice. It is open when breathing and vibrating for speech or singing, the folds are controlled via the various nerve. Vocal cords vibrate during the articulation of vowels and of many consonants. It is responsible for voice and voicelessness of sounds. When there is no vibration then that is voiceless sound.
