Palate4
The uvula (PL: uvulas or uvulae), also known as the palatine uvula, is a conic projection from the back edge of the middle of the soft palate, composed of connective tissue containing a number of racemose glands, and some muscular fibers. (wikipedia.org)
During swallowing, the soft palate and the uvula move together to close off the nasopharynx, and prevent food from entering the nasal cavity. (wikipedia.org)

Anomalies1
RÉSUMÉ Afin d'estimer l'incidence des cas de fente labiale et de fente palatine chez les nourrissons jordaniens et de repérer les anomalies associées, nous avons mené une étude prospective en milieu hospitalier sur une période de cinq ans, de janvier 2000 à janvier 2005. (who.int)
Absent1
Due to the large amount of saliva produced from glands in the uvula that are absent in other mammals, it has been suggested that the uvula is an accessory speech organ. (wikipedia.org)
Tongue2
In many languages, a range of consonant sounds, known as uvular consonants, are articulated by creating a constriction of airflow between the uvula and the back of the tongue. (wikipedia.org)
When the uvula touches the throat or tongue, it can cause sensations like gagging or choking, although there is no foreign matter present. (wikipedia.org)
Throat2
It has also been proposed that the abundant amount of thin saliva produced by the uvula serves to keep the throat well lubricated. (wikipedia.org)

Oral1

Mouth1
Splitting of the uvula occurs infrequently but is the most common form of mouth and nose area cleavage among newborns. (wikipedia.org)
citation needed] At times, the mucous membrane around the uvula may swell, causing the uvula to expand 3-5 times its normal size. (wikipedia.org)
HYPERTELORISM2
First described by Johns Hopkins cardiologist Hal Dietz and colleagues in 2005, LDS is characterized by vascular aneurysms and blood vessel tortuosity, hypertelorism and bifid uvula or cleft palate. (hopkinsmedicine.org)
Extra and incredibly convincing proof for involvement from the TGFβ pathway in aneurysmal disease was supplied by the recognition of and mutations in individuals showing a phenotype seen as a aortic main aneurysm arterial tortuosity and craniofacial malformations (including hypertelorism and bifid uvula/cleft palate) known as the Loeys-Dietz symptoms (LDS) [11].

Swollen1
A swollen uvula is not normally life-threatening and subsides in a short time, typically within a day. (wikipedia.org)
Pharyngeal1
Such pathological conditions of the cleft palate may cause functional problems in various muscles of the nasopharynx (including the tensor veli palatini, levator veli palatini, palatopharyngeus, palatoglossus, uvulae, salpingopharyngeus, and pharyngeal constrictor muscles), potentially resulting in velopharyngeal incompetence (VPI) and articulation disorder.
