	uvula
		The uvula is of course the little piece of flesh that hangs down from the rear portion of the soft palate.
		The uvula ordinarily appears to be a solid cylinder of tissue.
		I have seen bacterial infection of the uvula alone; this is very rare, especially compared to the incidence of inflammation of the uvula from Group A streptococcal infection ("strep throat").

	Uvula definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms easily defined on MedTerms
		Uvula: The small piece of soft tissue that can be seen dangling down from the soft palate over the back of the tongue.
		The uvula has its own little muscle, the musculus uvuae, to help it stiffen and change shape, so it helps fill in the space at the back of the throat.
		The uvula is one of the soft-tissue structures commonly blamed for snoring and for sleep apnea (a break in breathing during sleep).
