While epiglottis is essentially a mammalian structure, studying its microstructure in any placental model will add an important information to the field of comparative anatomy and the related branches of biology. The aim of this study was to describe the structure of the epiglottis in dromedary ...
(a) What is the structure of the macula in the ear? (b) What is its function? What structure has external nares? What is the role of the epiglottis? Describe the structure of the larynx. What structures in the mouth play a role in mechanical and chemical digestion?
What structure has epiglottis? Describe the histology of the layers of the trachea. Describe how the pharynx and larynx are similar and how they are different. (a) Describe the structure of the oropharynx. (b) What is its function?
epiglottis- a flap of cartilage that covers the windpipe while swallowing auricle,pinna,ear- the externally visible cartilaginous structure of the external ear tragus- a small cartilaginous flap in front of the external opening of the ear
On the contrary, in adult subjects degenerated taste buds can be found and their number usually increases with age. Sometimes such pictures can be observed also in young animals. The probable functional role of chemoreceptors located on the laryngeal surface of the epiglottis has been examined. ...
Food and fluids from the pharynx usually are prevented from entering the larynx by the epiglottis, a thin, leaflike tissue. The “stem” of the leaf attaches to the front and top of the larynx. When a person is breathing, the epiglottis is held in a vertical position, like an open trap...
Laryngeal pharynx: It begins at the epiglottis region and continues till the oesophagus. It helps in the passage of food to the oesophagus and air to the lungs. Oropharynx Function The oropharynx lies behind the oral cavity that extends from the uvula to the hyoid bone. It is the middle ...

Nomusclesproduce an opening of the laryngeal inlet, it is only opened by the elastic recoil of the epiglottis. II. Muscles acting on the vocal curds: A: Muscles producing abduction of the vocal cords: The posterior crico-arytenoidis the only abductor to the vocal cords.It extends...
What is the structure of villi? What connects the middle ear to the pharynx? What does the mouth do in the digestive system? Which part of the pharynx lies behind the oral cavity? In what two systems does the epiglottis function? What organ system is the trachea in? What system is the...
