The V-shaped notch in the midline of the neck that keeps the tract open is called the laryngeal prominence.

<h3>What is the anatomy of the respiratory tract in the Larynx?</h3>

The larynx is a sophisticated hollow structure positioned near the neck's anterior midline. The larynx transports air to the lower respiratory tract and seals the airway, primarily during swallowing, to avoid food aspiration.

The larynx is made up of nine separate cartilages, including three big unpaired cartilages which are:

  • Cricoid,
  • Thyroid, and
  • Epiglottis.

and three paired smaller cartilages called:

  • Arytenoid,
  • Corniculate, and
  • Cuneiform.

The cartilage's broad flat right and left halves combine apically in the midline to produce a V-shaped anterior projection known as the laryngeal prominence.

What causes the freezing point to change with the addition of salt?
Anni [7]

Answer:

When added to ice, salt first dissolves in the film of liquid water that is always present on the surface, and lowering its freezing point below the ices temperature. Ice in contact with salty water therefore melts, creating more liquid water, which dissolves more salt, thereby causing more ice to melt, and so on.
