On stertor, apoplexy, and the management of the apoplectic state . mucus, are all in close contact, andimpermeable to air. The first reflex action has for itsobject the dilatation and opening up of these cavities byforcible separation of their respective walls; but for somemonths afterwards the palate lies near the upper surfaceof the tongue, and the uvula is capable of being broughtinto apposition with the epiglottis. On passing from the human subject to the quadrupedal ii6 EPIGLOTTIS OF THE SUCKING PIG. mammal (pig), some important and unexpected differencesare to be noted, in the correlation of growth and therelationships of the maturating epiglottis and velumpalatinum. In the sucking pig, soon after birth, theepiglottis is to be found in the mouth, below and consider-ably anterior to the soft palate, while it does not so farencircle the laryngeal orifice as in later life. The softpalate is less elongated than in the older animal, and theuvula is bifid. The conditions appear to be identical inthe fourteen-days animal (Fig. 6) and at this stage the.
