The projection on the lower corolla lip near the throat of many zygomorphic bilabiate flowers (as in Lentibulariaceae).<\/p>\n
The structure that forms the roof of the mouth. It consists of the anterior hard palate and the posterior soft palate.<\/p>\n
A projection on the lower lip enclosing the mouth as found in Lentibulariaceae and some Plantaginaceae.<\/p>\n
A two-lobed swelling on the lower lip of irregular flowers, such as Toadflaxes and other species in the Figwort Family. A lower lip of an irregular flower.<\/p>\n
The roof of the mouth and floor of the nasal cavity, formed of the hard and soft palates.<\/p>\n
Structure that is the roof of the mouth and floor of the nasal cavity; it is divided into the hard palate and the soft palate.<\/p>\n
Either of a pair of roughly L-shaped bones of the skull that form the posterior part of the hard palate, part of the floor of the orbit, and part of the nasal cavity.<\/p>\n
The roof of the mouth. The palate separates the oral cavity from the nasal cavity. The front portion of the palate is hard and bony (hard palate); the back portion is soft and fleshy (soft palate).<\/p>\n
The roof of the mouth, which separates the mouth from the nasal cavity and consists of two portions. The hard palate, at the front of the mouth, is formed by processes of the maxillae and palatine bones and is covered by mucous membrane. The soft palate, further back, is a movable fold of mucous membrane that tapers at the back of the mouth to form a fleshy hanging flap of tissue, the uvula.<\/p>\n
The partition between the cavity of the mouth below, and the nose above. At the front is the hard palate composed of a bony plate covered by mucous membrane; further back and joined to it is the soft palate which is basically muscular. When food or air is passing through the mouth, as in swallowing, coughing, or vomiting, the soft palate is drawn upwards so as to touch the back wall of the throat and shut off the cavity of the nose. Movements of the soft palate, by changing the shape of the mouth and nose cavities, are important in the production of speech.<\/p>\n
The horizontal structure separating the mouth and the nasal cavity; the roof of the mouth, supported anteriorly by the maxillae and palatine bones.<\/p>\n
The palate serves as a barrier between the mouth and nasal cavity, and is lined with a mucous membrane. The anterior section is the hard palate, a bony structure that’s part of the maxilla (upper jaw). The posterior section, known as the soft palate, consists of muscle and connective tissue extending into the throat or pharynx. When swallowing, the soft palate ensures food doesn’t enter the nasal passage by pressing against the back of the pharynx.<\/p>\n
The upper surface inside the mouth is divided into two sections. The anterior portion made primarily of bone is termed the hard palate, while the posterior section, soft and muscular, is known as the soft palate.<\/p>\n
