What's the difference between epiglottis and subepiglottic?
Epiglottis
Definition:
(n.) A cartilaginous lidlike appendage which closes the glottis while food or drink is passing while food or drink is passing through the pharynx.
Example Sentences:

(11) Involvement of the muscles of the soft palate, epiglottis causes saliva and pharyngeal secret flowing into the bronchi which leads to asphyxia.
(12) The commonly found supraglottic laryngitis on the laryngeal aspect of the epiglottis was seen in combination with histologically proven infections in the upper and lower respiratory tract.
(13) In two patients, clinical manifestations were similar to abscess formation of acute epiglottitis and in one patient productive inflammation of the epiglottis and its ulceration resembled epiglottis carcinoma.
(14) Multiple sections are cut from the caudal larynx toward the epiglottis, unstained sections examined microscopically for orientation, and sections from target areas selected for staining and histopathologic examination.
(15) Plain and contrast radiography were used to demonstrate a soft palate remnant and to identify structures rostral to the epiglottis.
(16) A patient's epiglottis became trapped between the pliable grates in the mask portion of the laryngeal mask and partially obstructed his airway.
(17) This site is located at the base of the epiglottis, cranial to the ventral laryngeal diverticulum (ventral pouch).
(18) Concurrent burst suppression and alpha pattern coma developed in the EEG of a 2-year-old child who suffered a cardiac arrest secondary to hypoxemia from Haemophilus influenza epiglottis.
(19) We report the first documented case of a chondrosarcoma of the epiglottis.
(20) The A2B blood group was significantly more frequent in patients with epiglottis cancer and in those with laryngeal cancer.
Subepiglottic
Definition:
(a.) Situated under the epiglottis.
Example Sentences:
(1) Three basic techniques (and one modified technique) were developed, allowing successful excision of subepiglottic cysts in 10 horses (5 Standardbreds, 4 Thoroughbreds, and 1 Quarter Horse; mean age, 3.5 years) via peroral approach.
(2) Postoperative complications were excessive subepiglottic swelling after laser excision (n = 1 horse), which resolved completely in response to anti-inflammatory treatment, and subepiglottic cicatrix formation after snare excision (n = 1 horse), which required surgical excision of the cicatrix.
(3) The subepiglottic location and histopathologic features of the cyst were consistent with origin from an embryologic thyroglossal duct remnant.
(4) the thyrohyoid muscle), 1 patient had defective closure of the subepiglottic portion of the vestibule (paresis of the thyroepiglottic muscle), 2 patients had defective closure of the supraglottic portion of the vestibule (paresis of the superior ventricular segment of the thyroarytenoid muscle).
(5) Left laryngeal hemiplegia and arytenoid chondropathy resulted in substantial increases (30-40 cm H2O) in inspiratory upper airway pressure (Pl), whereas complicated aryepiglottic entrapment and subepiglottic cysts produced only modest increases (15 cm H2O) in Pl.
(6) These included proliferation in the nose, guttural pouch diseases and larynx diseases such as hemiplegia, subepiglottic cysts, epiglottic entrapment and rostral displacement of the plica palatopharyngica.
(7) Initial attempts to develop a technique to submucosally excise subepiglottic cysts through a transnasal transendoscopic approach in conscious horses, using a contact neodymium:yttrium aluminum garnet laser, were unsuccessful.
(8) Various abnormalities were observed in the remaining 40 (33.6%), such as barium penetration in the subepiglottic or supraglottic space (20 cases), dysmotility of the epiglottis (14 cases), transient and mild cricopharyngeal muscle dysfunction (17 cases), diverticula (6 cases).
