SOOO we can see their lungs. The lungs have been pretty different from ours since they are plants. They don’t need lungs to breathe like we do. Their lungs’ SOLE PURPOSE is for...well, if you know anything about human anatomy, you might know that the lungs are the powerhouse, but the larynx, the voice box, is what causes the vibrations that make our voices. The same has been said for the mandrake. So..next, we’ll be cutting into their necks. Right in their esophagus!

She made her next incision in the neck. It was hard to picture but she just needed to concentrate on her dead mandrake. She stopped right under its chin. She made a straight line. She was making flaps but in the shapes of triangles. She started on the straight line, cut up, started at the beginning and cut down. Then she folded the flap back. She repeated it on the other side.

She saw the larynx. She then set her wand down.

Next she looked at the mouth.

The larynx is the voice box, and the nose and mouth end the process of producing sound. Mandrakes don’t use their mouths to eat like we animals do. Their mouth’s only purpose is to make that noise that is fatal to us. It is protection. Open their mouths up a bit and see if you can see their tongue...their throats. Their nose is very small. This is why their screeches sound so nasally, eh? Now, if they don’t breathe in oxygen...how do the lungs help make their voices? Their screech? We suck in air...and our lungs push air out into the larynx...this is what causes the sound to escape. But if mandrakes don’t breathe...what are you all’s thoughts on how this works with mandrakes? Mandrakes are magical plants, after all….
