      Hi @loisfyfe!

      Your voice box, or your larynx, is actually an organ. An organ is a collection of different types of tissues that join together to do one job. In the case of the voice box it’s making sound that your mouth can turn into words.

      The voice box is made of bone, cartilage and muscle.
