Also known as the false folds (like in falsetto), those babies protect the vocal chords and can constrict to protect the larynx so that food, meant for the pharynx doesn't get in.
When they click together, it often produces what we hear as rasp.

Why do i always fall?
You may have an undiagnosed vestibular problem. The vestibular system controls balance. There are many reasons why this may cease to function normally (e.g., inner ear infection, head trauma, disease, even anxiety). An Ear Nose and Throat specialist would be able to test for normal vestibular function.

Does vestibular disorder affect mood and personality?
I have been studying the vestibular function on major depression patients for a long time, we found that there is a specific pattern of vestibular disorder on those patients that sometimes is symptomatic but most of times is subclinic.
