The pressure-flow relationship was examined in excised canine and human larynges with and without a vocal tract. Canine and human larynges were prepared and cut in the midsagittal plane from the top to about 10 mm below the vocal folds. The right half was removed and replaced with an acrylic plate. The vocal tract was simulated initially with a 15-cm plastic tube and later with a vocal tract model with an area function resembling "ah." Simultaneous recordings were made of the glottal pressure, mean subglottal pressure, and average airflow at various levels of adduction. preliminary data indicated that the pressure-now relationships were similar to those of a full larynx and were almost linear. The addition of the vocal tract increased the glottal resistance by moving these pressure-flow lines to the lower-flow and higher-pressure region. The human larynx appears to phonate more easily than the canine larynx on the laboratory bench and has lower phonation threshold pressures.
