the UVULA is the part of the posterior soft pallete that extends down into the oral cavity. Jeffrey J. Vrtis RN, BSN. ---- While the uvula is a hanging structure, a part of the soft palate, it is neither in the buccal cavity, nor does it separate the wind pipe (trachea) from the esophagus.
There is no such structure. I believe you may be referring to the epiglottis, which is the structure that occludes the glottic opening (the opening to the trachea) when swallowing occurs, to prevent aspiration of swallowed contents. Your question is not clear, however.
