ResumoAlthough the laryngeal phenomena attending the act of respiration in man have not escaped the attention of physiologists and laryngologists, yet investigation on this point has been comparatively limited and nothing like unanimity of views has been obtained. On the contrary, a perusal of the chapters devoted to the description of the mechanism of respiration in the admittedly best and most recent physiological text-books shows that there exists a very remarkable diversity of opinions, not merely on details or on points of secondary importance, but on the very question, whether the larynx plays an active rôle during quiet respiration in man or not.
