The larynx is situated below where the [[Pharynx - Anatomy & Physiology|pharynx]] divides into the trachea and the [[Oesophagus - Anatomy & Physiology|oesophagus]]. It is contained partly within the rami of the mandible and extends caudally into the neck. Vocal folds and vestibular folds are present in the larynx and due to this, it is more commonly known as the voice box.

The cartilageous larynx can be manually palpated in the living animal and is commonly implicated in respiratory conditions such as [[Diseases of the conducting airways#Laryngeal paralysis|roaring]].
