Birds regulate the airflow through the syrinx with muscles—M. syringealis dorsalis and M. tracheobronchialis dorsalis—that control the medial and lateral labia in the syrinx, whose action may close off airflow. [2] Song may, hence, be produced unilaterally through one side of the syrinx when the labia are closed in the opposite side.
