How do your vocal cords produce different pitches?
The pitch of the sounds produced by the vocal cords is controlled by the tension and length of the vocal cords. When the tension and length increase, the pitch becomes higher, and when they decrease, the pitch becomes lower. This adjustment is made by the muscles in the larynx.
What does your voice box look like and how does it work?
My voice box, or larynx, is made up of cartilage, muscles, and vocal cords. When we speak, the muscles in the larynx tighten to adjust the tension of the vocal cords, which vibrate as air passes through them. This vibration produces sound waves that create our voice.

What are some names for the vocal chords?
The scientific name for the vocal chords is the larynx. ------------------------------------------------------ This is incorrect. The vocal CORDS (or folds, or even better, the scientific name: the thyroarytenoid muscle) are IN the larynx. The larynx is made of cartilage, one bone (the hyoid bone) and contain several muscles, including the vocal folds/cords/thyroartenoid muscle. There are parts of the vocal folds called the vocalis muscle as well. NEVER CHORDS. A chord is a series of pitches played together, as in "play chords on the guitar" but a cord is a string or rope-like structure. As for the larynx, feel your adam's apple (yes, women have one, too - it's just smaller in most women). THAT'S the part of the larynx that's called the thyroid cartilage, and is the "hallmark" of the larynx.
