The anterior and lingual surface of the epiglottis is curved forward, toward the tongue. The surface is covered at its upper, free part by mucous membrane which is reflected onto the sides and root of the tongue, forming a median and two lateral folds. The lateral folds are partially attached to the wall of the pharynx.
