[edit] Superior Laryngial Nerve
I'm pretty sure the internal branch (not the external branch) of the superior laryngial nerve provides sensory innervation to the larynx. Also, I've only heard the branches of the superior laryngial nerve called external and internal, which makes more sense than external and inferior.

You will find that the vagus divides to the superior and recurrent laryngeal nerves, and the superior then subdvides into the exterior and internal which supply the vocal muscles.
[edit] Descended Larynx
There is no page for descended larynx, to which I wish to refer with a link, elsewhere. I was wondering if there's a reason for that, or if it just hasn't been made yet. I see no reference to it in this entry, either. Kaz 17:16, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Anatomical Structure, more detail
I will try to provide some more detail about the role of the human larynx in speech. I do not know much about the topic of descended larynx, but may include a stub topic to be filled in by more knowledgeable people.

[edit] something to add
some images of difference in stucture between human and animal would be good but i can't seem to find any

[edit] Larynx-less
what would happen if you didn't have a larynx?

That is theoretically impossible since the larynx is a term to describe the section of the trachea immediatly inferior to the laryngopharynx, and the absence of an entire section of the trachea would probably prevent ventilation. Lack of innervation to the vocal cords by both laryngeal nerves causes a loss of voice, and loss of one produces horseness of the voice, so hypothetically loss of the larynx would also prevent vocalisation.
