CHAP. XIV. Of the Gargareon, or Uvula.
BY the Gargareon we understand a fleshy and spongy body, in shape like a Pine-Apple, hang∣ing directly down at the further end of the Palat and basis of the bone Ethmoides, where the two holes of the Palat come from the Nose, above the entrance of the Throttle. This little body is situate in this place to break the violence of the air drawn in by breathing, and that by delay it might in some sort temper and mitigate it by the warmness of the mouth. Besides, that it might be as it were the Plectrum, or quill of the voyce, so to diffuse the fuliginous vapour sent forth in breathing, that it may be dispersed over all the mouth, that resounding from thence it may be articulate, and by the motion of the tongue distinguished and formed into a certain voice. Which use is not small; when we see by experience, that such as have this particle cut a∣way, or eaten, or corrupted by any accident, have not only their voyce vitiated and depraved, but speak ill-favouredly, and, as they say, through the Nose; and besides, in process of time they fall into a Consumption by reason of the cold air passing down before it be qualified. This same particle, is also a means to hinder the dust from flying down through the Weazon into the Lungs. By the Pharinx and fauces is meant the inner and back-part of the mouth, set or placed before the entrance of the Throttle and Gullet; being so called, because that place is narrow and strait, that as it were by these straits, the air drawn in by the mouth might be forced down by the Throt∣tle, and the meat into the Gullet.
