Respiratory System
• Main function: gas exchange (intake of oxygen by the blood, eliminate carbon dioxide)
• Consists of the lungs and the series of passages leading to them

Larynx
• Framework is formed by 3 unpaired cartilages and 3 paired cartilages
• Extrinsic muscles – support larynx, connect larynx to surrounding structure, raise the larynx during deglutition
• Intrinsic muscles – regulate the tension of the vocal cords resulting to phonation

Larynx
• Lined by respiratory epithelium, except:– Vocal cords – stratified squamous non-keratinized – Aryepiglottic folds – stratified squamous non-
keratinized
