The descended larynx is not uniquely human.
Morphological modifications of vocal anatomy are widespread among vertebrates, and the investigation of the physiological mechanisms and adaptive functions of such variants is an important focus of research into the evolution of communication. The "descended larynx" of adult humans has traditionally been considered unique to our species, representing an adaptation for articulate speech, and deb...
متن کاملFasciitis Ossificans of the Larynx
We describe a rare case of laryngeal fasciitis ossificans. A 58-year-old man presented with hoarseness and a nodule was found in the larynx. Excisional biopsy was performed, and follow-up laryngoscopy showed complete resolution of this reactive lesion, and normal laryngeal function. The 0.6 cm diameter nodule was well circumscribed and histologically, the lesion was composed of uniform woven bo...

Paraganglioma of the larynx is a rare neoplasm which mostly arises from supraglottic area. Herein, we report on a 45-year-old woman presented with supraglottic laryngeal paraganglioma.
متن کاملInvestigating the acoustic effect of the descended larynx with articulatory models
It has been proposed that the low position of the human larynx (compared to other apes) is necessary for producing distinctive articulations, and that it therefore evolved for the purpose of speech. This idea, however, is controversial. Other animals with low larynges have been described, and speech is also possible without using the full range of possible articulations. The role of the descend...
متن کاملTitle: Investigating the acoustic effect of the descended larynx with articulatory models
In this paper a strongly simplified articulatory model, as well as three more realistic models are investigated for the effect of larynx height on the extent of vowel signaling space. The models explore a larger range of larynx positions than previous models, and the use of the convex hull for measuring articulatory abilities is introduced. A short study of human data has also been done. It is ...
