Larynx
Portion of the airway connecting the pharynx and trachea.
Glottis
The opening of the larynx leading to the trachea, flanked by the
vocal cords.
Thyroid and cricoid cartilage
Lower portion of the cartilage protecting the larynx.
Trachea

Main bronchi
The 2 air passageways leading from the trachea to the lungs
,Esophagus
The passageway from the throat to the stomach
Vallecula
The pouch formed by the base of the tongue and the epiglottis
Epiglottis
The lid-like structure overhanging the glottis
