The is the roof of the
Mouth in humans and
Vertebrate animals. It separates the
Oral Cavity from the
Nasal Cavity . The palate is divided into two parts, the anterior bony '''
Hard Palate ''', and the posterior fleshy '''
Soft Palate ''' or '''velum'''. The
Maxillary Nerve branch of the
Trigeminal Nerve (V) supplies
Sensory Innervation to the palate.
The name is
Middle English and is probably derived from the
Latin ''palatum'' or the Old French ''palat''.
When functioning in conjunction with other parts of the mouth the palate produces certain sounds, particularly
Velar ,
Palatal ,
Palatalized ,
Postalveolar ,
Alveolo-palatal , and
Uvular Consonant s.
