-
A small oblong aperture, in the larynx, comprised between the chordae vocales. It is narrow, anteriorly; wider, posteriorly; and is capable of being modified by muscular contraction, as may be required by the voice. It is by the chordae vocales, that voice is produced. The glottis is nearly an inch long in the adult male: less in the female and child. Glottis is, by some, used synonymously with ventricle of the larynx: with others, it includes the whole of the larynx.
