Information from Wikipedia:
- "Human VF are paired structures located in the larynx, just above the trachea, which vibrate and are brought in contact during phonation. The human VF are roughly 12 – 24 mm in length, and 3–5 mm thick."
-"The male vocal folds are between 1.75 cm and 2.5 cm (approx 0.75" to 1.0") in length,[2] while female vocal folds are between 1.25 cm and 1.75 cm (approx 0.5" to 0.75") in length. The vocal cords of children are much shorter than those of adult males and females. The difference in vocal fold length and thickness between males and females causes a difference in vocal pitch."
Information from Lions Voice Clinic
-The outer layer of the vocal folds are mucosa is covered by a thin layer of epithelial covering, similar to the loose skin on the back of your hand. This epithelium contains the mucosa but allows it to take on an endless variety of shapes.The interesting thing about the multilayered structure is that the vocal fold can be stretched or contracted and made to vibrate at many different lengths. It can also adapt to different degrees of impact, and can withstand the forces and strain of extremely rapid vibration by rapidly changing its configuration.
