Monolithicâs construction process demands an Airform. Itâs an integral part of every Monolithic Dome, Monolithic Cabin, EcoShell and Crenosphere. The Monolithic Airform is a balloonlike, inflatable structure that determines the shape and size of a dome.
Third, the mouth plays a vital part in speech (see voice), because alterations in the shape of the mouth and the lips modify the sounds that are made by the vocal folds (vocal cords) in such a way that they become recognizable as syllables. The mouth, like many organs in the human body, is a hollow cavity. The part in front of the teeth is called the vestibule, while the part behind is the mouth itself. The floor of the mouth is formed from sheets of muscle tissue which are attached to the inner surface of the jawbone, or mandible.
The tongue is a highly manipulative, muscular structure used to aid ingestion, with an attachment deep in the throat. Palates. The hard palate makes up the anterior part of the roof of the mouth. Made of bone and covered with folds of mucus membrane, the hard palate separates the oral cavity from the nasal cavities. The surface of the soft palate is a posterior continuation of the mucous membrane, but it contains no bone. Unerupted teeth. Visible here are the beginning of the pig's tusks and the unerupted teeth. Pharynx. The pharynx is the region encompassing the base of the tongue and the junction of the passageways for food (esophagus) and air (trachea). Note the epiglottis (small flap of tissue at rear of pharynx) visible in this picture.
