Summary:
Diagram of airflow of syrinx. The songbird syrinx is surrounded by densely packed pairs of muscles on each side, as marked, for rapid and powerful contractions and sudden expansions. Non-song birds also have a syrinx but not the muscles. The side not receiving the airflow is shut. The curved arrows show the direction of airflow.
