====== Uvula ======
{{ ::uvula.gif?600|}}


The uvula (uvular lobe) forms a considerable portion of the inferior [[vermis]]; it is separated on either side from the tonsil by the [[sulcus valleculae]], at the bottom of which it is connected to the tonsil by a ridge of gray matter, indented on its surface by shallow furrows, and hence called the furrowed band.
