It assists in completing the valve formed by the softpalate and also in modulatingthe voice. When destroyedby disease, therefore, boththe deglutition of food andthe sound of the voice are rendered more or less imperfect. Every time the act of deglutition is performed, the openingsto the windpipe and to the nose are closed, so that during thisoperation all access of air to the lungs is stopped, consequentlyit is necessary that the passage of the food through the pharynxshould be rapid. Mastication, a voluntary process, may beperformed slowly or rapidly, perfectly or imperfectly, withoutserious mischief; but life depends on the passage of the foodthrough the pharynx with extreme rapidity and with thenicest precision. It is therefore taken out of the province ofvolition and entrusted to organs which belong to the organiclife, organs which carry on their operations with the steadi-ness, constancy, and exactness of bodies whose motions aredetermined by a physical OBOAKS OP nEOLUTITTOX. 1% IItdkor ATI! ic Cooic-BnoK Organs and Parts within and around the Mouth.
