What structure has glottis? What is the function of the tongue in digestion? What structure has vocal fold? (a) Describe the structure of the hard palate. (b) What is its function? What is the Epiglottis? What is the structure of the stomach?
Ejective consonantsare pronounced with simultaneous closure of the glottis, raising air pressure in the mouth, so that when the sound is released, there is a noticeable burst of air accompanying the release. They are marked with an apostrophe /’/. ...
Briefly describe the layers of the digestive system. Identify the structure from the given description: It covers the glottis during swallowing of food. Describe the structure of the parietal pleura. Describe the histology of the three layers of the trachea and bronchi. (a) Describe the structure...
The spiral valve of Neoceratodus begins as a deep groove on the right side of the foregut, just behind the glottis. Such a prepyloric groove is present but poorly developed also in the lungfishes Protopterus and Lepidosiren and contains a prepyloric spleen in all genera. A separate post...
19 laryngeal specimens (11 male, 8 female) were cut in horizontal serial sections, parallel to the free edge of the vocal cord. After staining, the structures of the glottis were measured microscopically and statistical analysis of the sex-related differences performed. The results show that the...
Larynx, a hollow, tubular structure connected to the top of the windpipe (trachea); air passes through the larynx on its way to the lungs. The larynx also produces vocal sounds and prevents the passage of food and other foreign particles into the lower r
Moreover, cross-sections confirmed the main distinctive feature at the generic level of the present material, i.e., vitelline follicles continuous throughout the length of the proglottis and intermingled with testes in A. gadi (vs partly cortical and partly medullary vitelline follicles, not ...
Pharynx, cone-shaped passageway leading from the oral and nasal cavities in the head to the esophagus and larynx. The pharynx chamber serves both respiratory and digestive functions. It consists of three main divisions: the nasal pharynx, the oral pharyn
Fig. 3. Nominal configuration of the glottis through one vibration cycle representative of normal phonation at 9 instances during the cycle. In each panel, a superior view is shown above a midcoronal section. During the opening phases the glottis is pushed apart and assumes a convergent configura...
The orchid genus,Chiloglottis, provides a unique opportunity to explore these questions more fully. This predominantly eastern Australian genus consists of 24 described species, with a range spanning from subtropical mid north Queensland, through temperate New South Wales and Victoria, to cooler southern...
