The uvula is located in the back of the throat, at the end of the soft palate. It is a small, fleshy, conical structure that hangs down from the middle of the soft palate. Its main function is to prevent food and liquids from entering the airway.

The uvula is a small, fleshy, bell-shaped structure that hangs down from the soft palate at the back of the mouth.

It is located in the throat, at the junction of the oral cavity and the pharynx. 

The uvula is made up of muscle, connective tissue, and glandular tissue and is covered by a mucous membrane. The uvula plays a role in speech, swallowing, and the production of saliva. 

In some individuals, the uvula may be longer or shorter than average, which can contribute to snoring or other breathing problems during sleep.
