What is subglottal pressure?
Subglottic pressure is pressure of air in the trachea below the glottis when the glottis is closed. High subglottic pressure are generated in some physiological maneuvers, like immediately before release of a cough. In the compression phase of a cough the glottis is closed as expiratory muscles contract, resulting in increased subglottic pressure on the distal side of the closed glottis. Then the glottis opens and air rushes out of the lungs causing a drop in subglottic pressure. Subglottic pressure is also important in vocalization, particularly sounds that use opening and closing of the glottis.

What is the difference between the epiglottis and the glottis?
The epiglottis "directs traffic". It is the flap that covers the larynx to prevent the passage of food and liquids. The glottis Also called the glottic cleft, is the space between the vocal folds & arytenoid cartilages of the larynx where speech takes place. The epiglottis is the flap of cartilage covered by a membrane that is attached to the entrance of the larynx. The glottis is part of the larynx that is made up of the vocal cords. glottis is the hole, epiglottis is the flap. epiglottis flap open = air " " closed = food
