Fig. 9 shows the laryngoscopic image of a normal larynx as it appears on paper, the movable parts in the position which they occupy during respiration. It also shows the anatomy of the parts in the living subject. E., epiglottis ; in the middle is seen its posterior surface, which is rolled from behind forward and therefore looks uj)ward ; on each side the surface of the tongue is covered witli blood-vessels.
