2023年11月3日 · The soft palate, also known as velum, is a mobile fold of soft tissue attached to the posterior margin of the hard palate. It extends posteroinferiorly, being leveled with the border between the nasopharynx and oropharynx. Unlike the hard palate, the soft palate doesn’t contain a bony framework.

The soft palate (also known as the velum, palatal velum, or muscular palate) is, in mammals, the soft tissue constituting the back of the roof of the mouth. The soft palate is part of the palate of the mouth; the other part is the hard palate.

soft palate, in mammals, structure consisting of muscle and connective tissue that forms the roof of the posterior (rear) portion of the oral cavity. The soft palate, along with the hard palate, forms the palate, or the roof of the mouth, which separates the oral and nasal cavities.

2023年10月30日 · The soft palate (velum) is the posterior muscular portion of the palate that continues from the posterior border of the hard palate. It is a mobile soft tissue flap that curves posteriorly and inferiorly into the pharynx, demarcating the nasopharynx from the oropharynx.

The soft palate is the flexible, posterior one-third of the palate from which the uvula hangs. It is largely muscular and has no bone in it. It has a thicker aponeurotic part anteriorly which attaches to the posterior part of the hard palate. The posterior part of the soft palate is thinner and composed mainly of muscle.

2024年4月7日 · The soft palate is a muscular structure that separates the nasopharynx from the oropharynx. There are 5 paired soft palate muscles. They are all innervated by the pharyngeal plexus (IX, X and cranial part of XI), except for tensor veli palitini (trigeminal) and muscular uvulae (lesser palatine nerve).

2017年2月4日 · Soft palate has two surfaces and two borders (in resting position). Anterior (oral) surface: It faces the oral cavity. Posterior surface: It is continuous with the floor of the nasal cavity. Superior border is attached to the posterior border of hard palate.
