A split is basically a nuc, but is taken from a full sized hive and can be made for two main reasons. It is often used as a starter for another hive, to make an increase in holdings, or can be used as a means of population control, supposedly to prevent swarming.
Medical Definition of Larynx. Larynx: A tube-shaped organ in the neck that contains the vocal cords. The larynx is about 5 cm (2 in.) long. It is part of the respiratory system and is located between the pharynx and the trachea. Humans use the larynx to breathe, talk, and swallow.
The larynx, also known as the voice box, is the upper group of structures of the lower airway and opens with a number of cartilaginous structures. From anterior to posterior, these structures include the base of the epiglottis, the thyroid cartilage, and the aryepiglottic folds (Figure 20-5b and Figure 20-5c).
