The vocal cords (or vocal folds) are two pairs of membranes stretched across the larynx, the thicker pair protecting the thinner pair, which may be pulled tight to produce sound through vibration as air is passed between them. Their tension may be finely controlled in order to produce sounds of varying pitch, and can be closed together completely to hold your breath. While not being used for these purposes, they remain relaxed and open to allow breathing. The true focal folds are protected by a second pair of ' false folds'. These secondary, thicker folds play a much smaller part in producing sound, principally when producing deep, low sounds.
