What is considerd the back of your throat is it the part yoy see past your tonsills and ubvla or is your tonsills and ubula the back?

That's easy: The tonsils are located on the sides of your throat and they normally are a peanut size. The uvula is hanging in middle of your throat as you look into the mirror and open your mouth.
