Study Notes

  • The palate forms the roof of the mouth cavity, separating it from the nasal cavity
  • It is composed of the hard and soft palates

Hard Palate

  • Forms from right and left halves
  • Halves are separated by the inter-palatal suture
  • Each half comprises two parts
  • Anteriorly, it includes the palatine process of the maxilla, forming about the anterior quarter
  • Posteriorly, it contains the horizontal plate of the palatine bone, making up the posterior quarter
  • The two parts are separated by the palatomaxillary suture

Soft Palate

  • (Also called palatine aponeurosis) is a mobile fold of fibrous tissues covered by a mucous membrane
  • It attaches anteriorly to the posterior border of the hard palate
  • The posterior border has a conical median projection called the uvula
  • The soft palate separates the nasopharynx from the oropharynx
  • It acts as a "policeman" during deglutition, preventing food from entering the nasal passage
