A member asked:

I think i can see my epiglottis in my throat..can you see a person epiglottis in there mouth by just looking in there? if so does it be white looking?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Some people's epiglottis is visible on naked eye inspection. It does appear whitish as it is a cartilage. It is entirely normal.
