Uvula

n. small fleshy pendulum hanging from the soft palate above the back of the tongue at the entrance to the throat (Anatomy)

The uvula (IPA: ) is a small, mucosa-covered set of muscles, musculus uvulae, hanging down from the soft palate, near the back of the throat. The word is derived from the diminutive of uva, the Latin word for "grape", due to the uvula's grape-like shape.
