, Leaf shaped cartilage that sits at the front of the larynx.
Helps to deflect food and liquid away from the larynx during the
pharyngeal phase of the swallow.
It doesn't really have very much to do with the way that sound is produced.

• Imprecise consonants common to all types.
• other features can be diagnostically valuable.
