Describe all the features in the diagram
Describe the distribution of general sensation to each colored area
The hard palate has _____ for nerves and arteries.
greater and lesser palatine foramina
Sensation from the mucosa of the hard palate is handled by ____, whereas the innervation of the palatine (mucous) glands is via
- sensation of hard palate: maxillary division of trigeminal nerve (V2)
- innervation of the palatine (mucous) glands: facial nerve (CN VII)
An opening in the anterior hard palate, from which the nasopalatine nerve and septal artery emerge.
incisive foramen
A fibromuscular structure with a membranous aponeurosis and associated muscles.
soft palate
Action of levator veli palatini and tensor veli palatini (already discussed with nasopharynx)
elevate and tense the soft palate with swallowing, respectively
This muscle helps to approximate soft palate to oropharynx during swallowing & is innervated by vagus nerve (CN X).
palatoglossus muscle
This muscle runs from the hard and soft palate to the posterior aspect of thyroid cartilage and pharyngeal constrictor. It also helps to close the nasopharynx during swallowing and is innervated by vagus nerve (CN X).
palatopharyngeus muscle
