Lamina propria
Superficial
Intermediate
Deep
Muscular layer

Vocal Fold - function
Cover - Body Theory
Cover - composed of epithelial layer and
superficial connective tissue layer
Body - composed of vocalis muscle
Cover stiffness largely altered by the
cricoarytenoid and thyroarytenoid (vocalis)

Voice Production
Initiation - 3 Steps
Tension develops in cords
Adduction of cords to midline
Phonatory attack phase
Production of airflow from lungs
Increased subglottic pressure
