===Vocal Folds===

   

   

*Made of (slightly stiffer) elastic ligaments

The vocal folds are made of (slightly stiffer) elastic ligaments and pass between the '''arytenoid cartilages''' and the '''laryngeal floor'''. They run caudodorsally, with the ligament positioned medially and the '''vocalis muscle''' laterally. Fat surrounds the vocalis muscle. The vocal folds form part of the glottis and secrete mucous. They are used for vocalisation.

===Vestibular folds===

   

   

*Made of (slightly stiffer) elastic ligaments

The vestibular folds are made of (slightly stiffer) elastic ligaments. The '''vestibular ligaments''' are rostral to the '''vocal ligament'''. The vestibular folds run caudodorsally, rostral to the vocal folds with the ligament positioned medially and the '''vocalis muscle''' laterally. Fat surrounds vocalis muscle. The vestibular folds differ as they do not form the glottis.
