Which of the following is a cartilaginous organ in the human body that helps in sound production and hence called the sound box?
Larynx
The larynx is a cartilaginous structure at the top of the trachea, made of cartilages such as the thyroid cartilage (Adam’s apple). It houses the vocal cords.
Air expelled from the lungs vibrates the vocal cords in the larynx to produce sound, which is why the larynx is called the voice box or sound box.
Bronchioles are fine air passages in the lungs; the pharynx is the common passage for food and air behind the mouth and nose; the epiglottis is a flap that covers the glottis during swallowing and does not produce sound.
Hence, the answer is Larynx.
