Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The base of the tongue is attached to the epiglottis by three-folds. These folds form a space be-tween the tongue and the epiglottis called the vallecula, which is a key landmark in oral intuba-tion (Figure 9-36).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The opening formed between the vocal cords is called the glottis.
