It reveals the condition of the glottis, the presence, position and form of growths like myxomata and of new tissues, due to the presence of actinomyces, as well as tuberculous vegetations or ulcerations. By auscultation we discover the presence of normal or abnormal laryngeal sounds—roaring, whistling, or bubbling sounds, etc. Trachea. The trachea may be examined by palpation and auscultation. Palpat

Palpation reveals the degree of sensitiveness, abnormalities in position or form, the presence of peripheral inflammations, fractures of rings, etc. Auscultation indicates whether the tracheal sound be normal or otherwise, or accompanied by abnormal sounds, like mucous rdh's, or by pathological sounds conveyed from the chest.
