The two vocal folds (VF) and the space between them
constitute the glottis. Just above each vocal fold is an
elongated recess called the ventricle (V), and above the
ventricle is another ridge called the ventricular fold (VnF) or,
sometimes, the false vocal fold. Below and lateral to the vocal
folds are the vocalis muscles (VM). The elastic material is a
component of the vocal ligament (VL).
