Difference between Epiglottis and Place of articulation

Epiglottis vs. Place of articulation

The epiglottis is a flap in the throat that keeps food from entering the windpipe and the lungs. In articulatory phonetics, the place of articulation (also point of articulation) of a consonant is the point of contact where an obstruction occurs in the vocal tract between an articulatory gesture, an active articulator (typically some part of the tongue), and a passive location (typically some part of the roof of the mouth).

Similarities between Epiglottis and Place of articulation

Epiglottis and Place of articulation have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Glottis, Larynx, Pharyngeal consonant, Pharynx, Tongue, Trachea.

Glottis

The glottis is defined as the opening between the vocal folds (the rima glottidis).

Trachea

The trachea, colloquially called the windpipe, is a cartilaginous tube that connects the pharynx and larynx to the lungs, allowing the passage of air, and so is present in almost all air-breathing animals with lungs.
