Movement of air based on Bernoulli principle. As air flow increases internal pressure decreases. Air flows through vocal folds and is constricted, moving faster, causing internal pressure to drop and suck vocal folds together. | Myoelastic and aerodynamic theory 1 |
Once the vocal folds are closed pressure will build up again and cause them to blow back open. The faster air moves the more pressure will drop | Myoelastic and aerodynamic theory 2 |
