  Glottalic consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A glottalic consonant is a consonant produced with some important contribution (a movement, a closure) of the glottis (the opening that leads from the nose and mouth cavities into the larynx and the lungs).
Glottalic sounds may involve motion of the larynx upward or downward, producing an egressive or ingressive glottalic airstream mechanism respectively.
Rather, glottalization implies that a normal pulmonic airstream is interrupted by closure of the glottis.

 Glottis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The space between the vocal cords is called the glottis.
As the vocal cords vibrate, the resulting vibration produces a "buzzing" quality to the speech, called voice or voicing.

 .:: Bob Fingerman: The Wizard & His Familiar ::.
Glottis, not to mince words, made Wayne look sexy by comparison, and Glottis's acute homeliness was not lost on Wayne, who appreciated the slight edge it gave him in the looks department, even though it did nothing for him in the dating arena.
The heaviest part of Glottis was his thick eyeglasses, which pitched his head forward, all the weight drawing his beaky nose downwards.
Glottis looked up from the page, vaguely shook it to communicate that he was trying to read, and Wayne stopped his heavy metal pantomime.

The superior border of the glottis is the ventricle, which separates the glottis from the supraglottic region.
The glottis is approximately 5 mm at the midportion of the true vocal cord, its longest point, and tapers to 2-3 mm at the anterior commissure.
The posterior glottis consists of the posterior third of the vocal cords, the posterior commissure with the interarytenoid muscle, the cricoid lamina, the cricoarytenoid joints, the arytenoids, and the overlying mucosa.

 THE GLOTTIS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The glottis is the part of the voice box that consists of the vocal cords which are two fibrous sheets of tissue in the larynx,and the v-shaped slitlike opening between them [less than 1inch long].
SO, the glottis can be considered as an aperture used to provide us with more resistance which in turn helps the diaphragm and all of its related muscles as it contracts when we exhale........
Remember: the glottis is voluntary and involuntary...so it is up to the player to overcome the tendancy of the glottis to constrict and become narrow when one is blowing louder and higher!!!
