Soft palate (in the bottom of the image) as seen when dorsally displaced

soft palate

Forms the back part of the roof of the mouth. In contrast to the hard palate, the soft palate does not consist of bone but of several muscles and connective tissue, covered in a mucus membrane. During swallowing, the soft palate closes off the nasal passages to prevent food or fluids entering the nasal cavity (similar to the function of the epiglottis).
