Folding Mechanism of the Human Larynx

Pages 124-128 | Received 05 Nov 1973, Published online: 08 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

The mechanism of the human larynx, often regarded as sphincteric, more nearly represents graduated folding or plication. Taking the end of normal expiration as the reference condition, folding decreases with inspiration and increases successively with reserve expiration, phonation, effort closure, and swallow closure.

ZUSAMMENFASSUNG

Der Mechanismus des menschlichen Kehlkopfs, der oft als sphinkterisch betrachtet wird, stellt eher einen differenzierten Faltungsprozess dar. Wenn man das Ende der normalen Ausatmung als Bezugsbedingung ansieht, so findet man, dass die Faltung mit der Einatmung abnimmt und bei reservierter Ausatmung, Phonation, Kehlkopfschluss bei Anstrengung und Kehlkopfschluss beim Schlucken stufenweise zunimmt.
