APPENDIX II.

THE ORGANS FOR VOCAL EXPRESSION.

BESIDES the organs of articulation, considered on pp. 17-22, three other classes of organs are involved in vocalization. They are ordinarily termed the Motor Organs, the Essential Organs, and the Organs of Intensification.

To the first class, the Motor, belong the organs of respiration, the lungs and bronchial tubes, and the muscles of the diaphragm and ribs surrounding them. (See Plate I.) The essential organs are in the larynx. (See Plate II.)
