Hard palate The hard palate is important for feeding and speech. Mammals with a defective hard palate may die shortly after birth due to inability to suckle (see Cleft palate below). It is also involved in mastication in many species. The interaction between the tongue and the hard palate is essential in the formation of certain speech sounds, notably /ʃ/ , /ʒ/ , /j/ , and /ɟ/ .

Surgical Treatment of Velopharyngeal Dysfunction The soft palate marks the beginning of the oropharynx and is the movable posterior third of the palate.

soft palate soft palate. the fleshy partition at the back of the mouth which separates the nasopharynx from the oropharynx and which, together with the hard palate, forms the roof of the mouth. cleft soft palate. commonly the posterior part is defective but may be part of a defect involving both soft and hard palates. Manifested by difficulties in sucking or nasal regurgitation of milk and food from a young age. Often associated with entrapment of the palate by the aryepiglottic fold.

Anatomy and Function of the Uvula Anatomy. The roof of the mouth is divided into two sections – the hard palate at the front and the soft palate at the back. The uvula hangs from the middle of the soft palate and lies a short distance above the back of the tongue. It is composed of mucus membranes, connective tissue and muscle and it is flexible to ensure that it can fulfil its functions.

Uvula Function The palate, which is the roof of the mouth, consists of the hard palate and the soft palate. Palatine uvula, which is commonly referred to as uvula, is a small, conical projection that hangs down from the soft palate, at the back of the throat. It is made of connective tissue containing racemose glands and muscle fibers.

- The primary palate develops from the medial frontonasal processes and is a transient structure from which the upper lip and the premaxillary palate (anterior to the secondary palate) form. The secondary (or definitive) palate, which forms the roof of the mouth, develops from the maxillary processes of BA1.

soft palate soft palate. the fleshy partition at the back of the mouth which separates the nasopharynx from the oropharynx and which, together with the hard palate, forms the roof of the mouth. cleft soft palate. commonly the posterior part is defective but may be part of a defect involving both soft and hard palates.hen the soft palate rises, as in swallowing, it separates the nasal cavity and nasopharynx from the posterior part of the oral cavity and oral portion of the pharynx. In sucking the soft palate and posterior superior surface of the tongue occlude the oral cavity from the orapharynx, creating a posterior seal.

Muscles and Walls of the Pharynx The palatopharyngeus muscle starts at the posterior border of the hard palate on the palatine aponeurosis and finishes on the posterior aspect of the lamina of the thyroid cartilage of the larynx, as do the other paired muscles. It elevates the pharynx in order to close off the nasopharynx during swallowing.

Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate A cleft palate is a split or opening in the roof of the mouth. A cleft palate can involve the hard palate (the bony front portion of the roof of the mouth), and/or the soft palate (the soft back portion of the roof of the mouth).Cleft lip and cleft palate can occur on one or both sides of the mouth.Because the lip and the palate develop separately, it is possible to have a cleft lip without a cleft palate, a cleft palate without a cleft lip, or both together.left lip, with or without cleft palate, affects one in 700 babies annually, and is the fourth most common birth defect in the U.S. Clefts occur more often in children of Asian, Latino, or Native American descent.

Functions of Teeth Problems of the Mouth and Teeth A smile is the facial expression that most engages others. With the help of the teeth — which provide structural support for the face muscles — the mouth also forms a frown and other expressions that show on your face. The mouth also plays a key role in the digestive system, but it does much more than get digestion started. The mouth — especially the teeth, lips, and tongue — is essential for speech. The tongue, which allows us to taste, also helps form words when we speak. The lips that line the outside of the mouth both help hold food in while we chew and pronounce words when we talk.
