polski), also known as the false vocal cord or superior vocal fold, is a part of the larynx that plays a crucial role in the human respiratory system and speech production.
Etymology
The term "vestibular" originates from the Latin word "vestibulum", which means entrance. This is in reference to the location of the vestibular folds at the entrance of the glottis, the part of the larynx consisting of the vocal cords and the opening between them. The term "fold" refers to the fold-like structure of these parts.
Function
The primary function of the vestibular folds is to protect the vocal cords during swallowing, preventing food and liquid from entering the trachea. They also contribute to the production of deep, coarse sounds and are involved in certain types of phonation.
