ep·i·glot·tis Pronunciation Key (p-glts)
n. pl. ep·i·glot·tis·es or ep·i·glot·ti·des (-glt-dz)

The thin elastic cartilaginous structure located at the root of the tongue that folds over the glottis to prevent food and liquid from entering the trachea during the act of swallowing.

dictionary also said:

u·vu·la Pronunciation Key (yvy-l)
n.

A small, conical, fleshy mass of tissue suspended from the center of the soft palate.

So I reckon it's uvula.

spetum is the bit that divides your nostrils (the bit that eastenders lass rather carelessley lost track of).

Filtrum is the bit between your nose and lip that Hitler covered with moustache.

I thought it was the vacuum in their heads that stopped everything falling out?

Sorry
