In Duchenne muscular dystrophy, several muscles in this organ are spared from the lack of dystrophin. An extracellular area within this organ known as Reinke's space is prone to edema. This structure's namesake "recurrent" nerve, a branch of the vagus nerve, innervates all of its intrinsic muscles except for one. The conical corniculate cartilage attaches to the apex of the arytenoid cartilage in this organ. This organ is supported by three paired and three unpaired cartilages; examples of the latter include the (*) cricoid, which forms this organ's back part, and the thyroid, whose peculiar angle results in this organ's namesake "prominence," or Adam's apple. Twin infoldings of mucous membrane in this organ are separated by the glottis, and vibrate during phonation. For 10 points, name this organ that houses the vocal folds, colloquially called the voice box.
