I have known what's up there- excuse me, I know most people would be grossed out by this- because I found it a long time ago with my tongue. So, lately I've set out to learn what the 'things' I felt up there look like. I won't disclose the details of those features because of the subject matter, but I have found out what that area is called. It's called the nasopharynx. I have found good images to a point- they don't reveal everything my tongue finds- sorry, gross- but a majority was revealed. I found the images on Google. Now, as far as the textual description, I haven't read it yet but I brought up the Wikipedia article on the nasopharynx. I hope this answers your question. God bless.
