Difference between Larynx and Muscle

Larynx vs. Muscle

The larynx, commonly called the voice box, is an organ in the top of the neck of tetrapods involved in breathing, producing sound, and protecting the trachea against food aspiration. Muscle is a soft tissue found in most animals.

Similarities between Larynx and Muscle

Larynx and Muscle have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Esophagus, Nerve, Neuromuscular disease, Organ (anatomy), Reflex, Skeleton, Tongue, Vertebra.

Esophagus

The esophagus (American English) or oesophagus (British English), commonly known as the food pipe or gullet (gut), is an organ in vertebrates through which food passes, aided by peristaltic contractions, from the pharynx to the stomach.

Vertebra

In the vertebrate spinal column, each vertebra is an irregular bone with a complex structure composed of bone and some hyaline cartilage, the proportions of which vary according to the segment of the backbone and the species of vertebrate.
