SOFT PALATE
- Soft palate ( कोमल तालु )
- movable muscular fold ( हिलने वाला पेशी वंक )
- suspended from roof of mouth ( मुह के ऊपर में लटकता है )
- posterior border of hard palate ( कठोर तालु के पश्च किनारे से )
- separates nasopharynx from oropharynx
- surfaces ( स्तर )
- anterior ( oral surface) ( अग्र या मुह स्तर )
- concave
- marked by a median raphe
- posterior ( पश्च )
- convex
- continuous superiorly with
- floor or nasal cavity
- borders ( किनारा )
- superior ( ऊर्ध्व / ऊपरी किनारा )
- attached to posterior border of hard palate
- blending on each side with pharynx
- inferior ( अधः / निचला किनारा )
- free ( लटकता है )
- from middle ( बीच में से
- hangs a conical projection
- uvula
- each side of base of uvula
- two curved folds of mucous membrane extend laterally and downward
- anterior fold ( अग्र वंक )
- palatoglossal arch or anterior pillar of fauces ( अग्र स्थम्भ )
- palatoglossus muscle ( जिह्वतालु मांस )
- forms the lateral boundary of oropharyngeal isthmus or isthmus of fauces
- posterior fold (पश्च वंक )
- palatopharyngeal arch or posterior pillar of fauces ( पश्च स्थम्भ )
- contains palatopharyngeus muscle ( तालुग्रसनी मांस )
- forms posterior boundary of tonsillar fossa
- merges inferiorly with lateral wall of pharynx
- Structure
- it is a fold of mucous membrane
- parts
- palatine aponeurosis ( तालु )
- flattened tendon of tensor veli palatini ( तालुच्छद तानिका )
- forms fibrous basis of palate
- near median plane aponeurosis splits to enclose
- musculus uvulae
- superior surface ( ऊपरी स्तर )
- Levator veli palatini(तालुच्छद उन्नमनी ) and palatine aponeurosis lie on this surface
- inferior or anterior surface ( निचला स्तर )
- palatoglossus muscle ( जिह्वतालु )
- numerous glands and some taste buds are present
- Muscles of soft palate ( कोमल तालु के मांस पेशी )
- Tensor palati ( tensor veli palatini ) ( तनाव तालु )
- Levator palati ( Levator Veli palatini ) ( उन्नमनी तालु )
- Musculus Uvulae
- Palatoglossus ( जिह्वतालु )
- Palatopharyngeus ( तालुग्रसनी )
- Nerve supply ( तंत्रिका )
- All muscles of soft palate except tensor veli palatini ( कोमल तालु के पूरे मांस )
- pharyngeal plexus ( ग्रसनी जालिका )
- derived from cranial part of accessory nerve through vagus
- tensor veli palatini supplied by
- mandibular nerve ( अधःहनु तंत्रिका )
- General sensory nerves (
- Special sensory or gustatory nerves
- taste sensations from oral surface
- PASSAVANT'S RIDGE
