The proper development of the vocal cords requires embryos to contain a certain number of progenitor cells, and mutations that lead to an overflow of cells can cause malformations of the voice box.

Other mammals rely on a complex structure called the larynx that houses the vocal cords and is made of cartilage, muscle, ligament and connective tissue
As the air flows through the larynx, the shape and tension of the vocal cords create sounds through vibration, while the cartilage manipulates the pitch
