What's That Dingly Dangly Thing Called?


Question:
Everyone has got one. Even the girls!
What I am talking about is that thing at the back of your mouth/top of throat?

One thing I do know is it is not my tonsills. I had them removed when I was younger.

Interesting to hear your answers!

Thanks

Answers:
i think the uvula, part of the soft palate

its not the epiglottis, that is the little flap of skin that covers your windpipe when you swallow to prevent food going down it.
It's called the "uvula". It's the back part of the soft palate.
Its an epiglottis! Not everyone has one, the people who win drinking competitions tend not to have them, they're what makes you swallow!
Epiglotis!
it is your uvula
it's called a uvula, assists the gag reflex and plays an important role in the articulation of sound.
Its the Uvula. The Epiglotis is in your throat.
It is called a Palatine Uvula. It is to control air-flow. The Epiglottis is a flap at the back of your throat over the larynx that stops liquid going down your windpipe when you swallow.
