### QUESTION 17

#### Where are the true vocal cords located?

![Diagram of the human head and neck with labeled anatomical parts](image_link_here)

- A: Sphenoid sinus
- B: Frontal sinus
- C: Hard palate
- D: Adenoids
- E: Soft palate
- F: Palatine tonsil
- G: Lingual tonsil
- H: Esophagus
- J: Trachea
- K: Tongue

**Options:**
- Label F
- Label D
- Label J
- Label E

Diagram Explanation:

The diagram presented shows a sagittal section of a human head and neck with various parts labeled. This includes structures involved in both the digestive and respiratory systems.

- **A** denotes the sphenoid sinus.
- **B** indicates the frontal sinus.
- **C** represents the hard palate within the oral cavity.
- **D** marks the adenoids located at the back of the nasal cavity.
- **E** points to the soft palate behind the hard palate.
- **F** is the palatine tonsil situated at the sides of the oral pharynx.
- **G** indicates the lingual tonsil at the base of the tongue.
- **H** is the esophagus leading to the stomach.
- **J** marks the trachea, the windpipe leading to the lungs.
- **K** depicts the tongue at the bottom of the oral cavity.

To answer the question about the location of the true vocal cords, one should note that the true vocal cords (or vocal folds) are part of the larynx, which is not directly labeled but is located close to label **J (Trachea)** in the given diagram.

**Correct Answer:**
- Label J
