The epiglottis is a piece of cartilage behind the tongue that closes the opening to the windpipe when a person swallows.

An instrument called a laryngoscope is often used in the operating room to view the epiglottis, which will appear cherry-red and quite swollen.

This embraces the base of the epiglottis, and, except while swallowing food, shuts off all communication between the cavity of the mouth and the pharynx, respiration being, under ordinary circumstances, exclusively through the nostrils.

The larynx is raised, closing the glottis, which is then covered by the epiglottis, preventing food entering the trachea.

Because the vocal cords are located in the larynx just below the area of the epiglottis, the swollen epiglottis makes the patient's voice sound muffled and strained.
