Soft palate
[NOUN]What is "soft palate"?
The soft palate, also known as the velum, is a movable part of the roof of the mouth in the human body. It consists of soft tissue and muscles that play a crucial role in various functions such as swallowing, speaking, and breathing. The soft palate helps to separate the oral and nasal cavities, preventing food and liquids from entering the nasal passages during swallowing. It also contributes to the production of speech sounds by controlling the airflow through the oral and nasal passages.
