What do you call the holes in a flute?





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

I am wondering if the holes in flutes have a particular name. I am assuming that all wind instruments share the same name for their holes, but I am not sure what it might be.

          Holes in wind instruments which control pitch are generally called toneholes or tone holes, but this term is often reserved for holes covered by pads operated by "keys". Holes covered by the fingers are fingerholes or finger holes.

          • I learned them both as tone holes, but the ones on keyed instruments being also called keys (confusingly, given the key is also the key), and those on non-keyed instruments being also called finger holes.

          Tårekanal

          Image
          Tåreapparatet ( a ) Tårekjertel ( b ) Øvre tårepunkt ( c ) Øvre tårekanalikkel ( d ) Tåresekk ( e ) Nedre tårepunkt ( f ) Nedre tårekanalikkel ( g ) Tårekanal Tårekanalen eller nase-tårekanalen (av latin ductus nasolacrimalis ) er ein ductus som frakter overflødige tårer frå tåresekken til nasehola. Opninga inn mot nedre nasegang er delvis tildekt av ei ufullstendig slimhinnefold kalla Hasners ventil. Overflødige tårer strøymer gjennom tårekanalen og trekker inn i nedre nasegang. Dette er grunnen til at ein kan få rennande nase når ein gret, og at ein somme gonger kan kjenne saltsmaken av tårer i munnen. Både tårekanalen og tåresekken er tekt med fleirlaga sylinderepitel som inneheld slimproduserande begerceller, og er begge omgjevne av bindevev. Dakryostenose (tårekanalstenose) er ei innsnevring av tårekanalen som fører til epifora, ei overflod av tårer. Medfødd dakryostenose kan føra til cystisk utviding av tårekanalen ved at det dannast ein dakryocystocele. Personar m...
