Included in Larynx & Vocal Fold ID are 8 animations, 156 detail illustrations with 3 videos. Arranged as a picture book; the larynx is shown from anterior, posterior, lateral and superior views. Included are superior views of the vocal folds and associated muscles. Each view is broken into several isolated parts; cartilage, membranes, muscles and ligaments. Each view includes text descriptions. Within the multimedia capabilities of this eBook is easy access to 48 glossary entries of terms and definitions, fully cross-referenced. A knowledge check is provided at the end of each chapter section to let readers test their knowledge using a variety of question types; multiple choice, choose the correct image and label the image.

• Vocal Folds ID: The vocal folds, as seen from above, form a V. Sound is produced by bringing the vocal folds from the side of the airway toward midline, blocking the outward flow of air. The pressure from the lung builds up below the vocal folds until it is sufficient to blow the vocal folds upward. This chapter details the structure of the vocal folds through illustrations, animations and video. 
  • Vocal Folds - Covers the overall structure of the vocal folds from a superior view. Includes detail views the key parts of the vocal folds. A full view of the vocal folds and a unique cutaway zoomed side view and animation, plus three normal videos of real vocal folds are provided. A knowledge check at the end tests learning.
  • Vocal Muscles - Covers the overall structure of the vocal folds muscles and cartilages from a superior view. Includes detail views the key parts of the vocal folds muscles and cartilages.
