Morphological and Histochemical Analysis of the Human Vestibular Fold

The larynx is divided into the supraglottic, glottic and subglottic regions, each serving different functions. The false vocal cords, also known as the ventricular or vestibular folds, are two thick, sagittally oriented, individually sized mucosal duplications arising from the wall into the lumen of the supraglottic space and forming the medial wall of the laryngeal ventricle (Kutta et al., 2004).
