palate

[pal´at]

the roof of the mouth. The hard palate is the front portion braced by the upper jaw bones (maxillae); it has a bony framework and forms the partition between the mouth and the nose. The soft palate is the fleshy part arching downward from the hard palate to the throat; it separates the mouth and the pharynx. When a person swallows, the rear of the soft palate swings up against the back of the pharynx and blocks the passage of food and air to the nose. A fleshy lobe called the uvula hangs from the middle of the soft palate. adj., adj pal´atal.

cleft palate see cleft lip and cleft palate.

premaxillary palate (primary palate) that portion of the palate that was the median nasal process during early development.

secondary palate that portion of the palate that was the lateral nasal processes during early development.

sec·on·dar·y pal·ate

the portion of the embryonic palate, posterior to the primary palate that forms from the lateral palatine processes of the embryonic maxilla and develops into the hard and soft palates.

Although patients with velocardiofacial syndrome almost uniformly have clefting of the secondary palate, it is frequently an "occult" clefting that can be observed only on nasopharyngoscopy.

Other events in the facial region involved in the shifts in timing that differentiate taxa include the appearance of tooth buds, the differentiation of ear ossicles, the closure of the secondary palate, the differentiation of basicranial cartilage and several aspects of muscle development.

These include the first ossification of a variety of cranial bones, the appearance of tooth buds, the differentiation of the ear ossicles, the closure of the secondary palate, and steps in the maturation of cranial muscles (Table 4).

Shifts in the timing of development of somatic elements (especially the tongue, the facial skeleton and the secondary palate) have received most previous attention (e.g., Esdaile 1916; Hill and Hill 1955; Sharman 1973; Hall and Hughes 1987; Maier 1987a; Hughes and Hall 1988; Filan 1991; Nelson 1992; Clark and Smith 1993; Renfree 1993; Smith 1994).
