Definice a Význam "palate"

What is "palate"?

The palate refers to the anatomical structure located in the oral cavity, separating the nasal cavity from the oral cavity. It consists of two parts: the hard palate in the front, which is a bony structure, and the soft palate in the back, which is a flexible muscular tissue. The palate plays a crucial role in functions such as speech, swallowing, and breathing, as well as separating the airflow and food passages to ensure their proper routing.
