In which part of the human body is the uvula?
450009
The uvula is a small cone-shaped mass of tissue hanging down from the soft palate, near the back of the throat. The word is derived from the diminutive of uva, the Latin word for "grape", due to the uvula's grape-like shape.\n\n\n\n\nThe uvula plays an important role in the creation of the sound of the human voice. It functions in tandem with the back of the throat, the palate, and air coming up from the lungs to create a number of guttural and other sounds. Consonants pronounced with the uvula are not found in English; however, languages such as Arabic, French, German, Hebrew, and Ubykh use uvular consonants to varying degrees. Certain African languages use the uvula to produce click consonants, as well.\n\nThe uvula also contributes to snoring or heavy breathing during sleep; having an elongated uvula can cause vibrations which lead to the snoring. In some cases this can lead to sleep apnea, which may be treated by removal of the uvula or part of the uvula if necessary.\n\nSplitting of the uvula occurs infrequently but is the most common form of mouth and nose area cleavage among newborns (roughly 2% of infants have this bifid or split uvula). Newborns with cleft palate also have a split uvula.

Just below the epiglottis is the angular thyroid cartilage, composed of two vertical plates that join in the front of the neck. The junction of these plates causes the projection commonly known as the Adam's apple, so called because of the legend, referred to in Genesis 3:6, of the apple that lodged in Adam's throat.

Frenulum Linguae is the right answer. To be accurate, you \nmust add Linguae.\nThere are many Frenulum tissues in the body, eg frenulum clitoridis (for clitoris), frenulum labiorum pudendi (for labia minora), frenulum preputii penis (for penis prepuce...lower side), frenulum labii superioris and frenulum labii inferioris for upper and lower lips respectively.

Tonsils are lymphatic tissues inside the throat to protect the body from microorganisms entering through the mouth.

Palmaris Longus muscle (one in each arm) and Epithalamus are two things that currently have no known function in the human body.  In the 1890 there were several other parts which had unknown functions but those functions have since been discovered.  These include thalamus, tonsils, male nipples, body hair, wisdom teeth, eye lashes, eye brows, ear muscles and pineal gland.  Some also argued that the pinky finger has no function in humans.

There is a fleshy flap-like structure called epiglottis that is situated in the throat, behind the tongue, at the entrance to the larynx, that is, at the point where the larynx and trachea (conduct leading to the lungs) and the esophagus (conduct leading to the stomach) meet. The epiglottis works as a valve that covers the entrance to the lungs while food is passing down the pharynx and into the digestive system; it's a safety mechanism to ensure that food particles don't damage the delicate respiratory organs. \nSo while we swallow (deglutition is the technical name for swallowing), we cannot breathe (=we're in apnea), because the entrance to the trachea is closed. \n\nThis is a diagram showing the position of the epiglottis:\nhttp://www.emedicinehealth.com/images/4453/4453-4468-10013-23657.jpg\nand here's an animation showing the right path for food (green) and the wrong path that can make one choke (red):\nhttp://people.eku.edu/ritchisong/epiglottis.gif

Sleep upside down like a bat.  Some people just snore and there is little you can do about it.  you can talk to your doctor about having your uvula removed but most insurances do not cover it.

The Answer you are looking for is the Hyoid bone, it is in your throat and helps support your tounge. Here is a link that describes it for you. \n\nhttp://bioweb.uwlax.edu/APlab/Table_of_Contents/Lab_03/Hyoid_Bone/hyoid_bone.html

If you mean the nose & mouth, I'm guessing you are probably looking for the philtrum, which is the sort of divot between your nose and the top of your lip.  Commonly people just call that entire area the upper lip.\n\nIf you're interested in surface anatomy, you can look at these sites: http://anatomy.med.umich.edu/surface/head_neck/sinuses.html\nhttp://137.222.110.150/calnet/A Oral Cav1/page3.htm\n\nNeither one is quite a complete reference, but both are reasonably easy to look at.

It is your uvula, & that is spelled right...not sure what it is for though! Maybe as a baffle so food doesn't go down your windpipe so easily??

There are five organs of speech, the lips, the tongue, the teeth, the hard palate and the soft palate. When we make a vowel sound 'ee', 'ah' 'ay' etc the sound comes up into our mouth and the shape of our mouth alters the sound. If we want to make a consonant sound two of the organs of speech touch each other to 'stop' the sound in our mouth. For example 'b' is our two lips touching, 'v' is our  teeth and lip etc. we also need to breathe correctly using our intercostal muscles. More info can be found at the site below.
