APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The palate forms the roof of the mouth and separates the oral cavity from the nasal cavity. The palate undergoes complex morphological changes during embryogenesis to achieve its final form and divides into an anterior immobile hard bony segment and a posterior mobile soft palate that does not contain bone.

Detailed explanation-2: -The hard palate is formed by the palatine process of the maxilla and horizontal plate of palatine bone. It forms a partition between the nasal passages and the mouth.

Detailed explanation-3: -The hard palate is comprised of two facial bones: the palatine process of the maxilla and the paired palatine bones. The hard palate contains several landmarks, including the incisive foramen and the greater and lesser palatine foramina.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your hard palate is that bony part found at the top of your mouth near the front of your oral cavity. With a hard palate comes a soft palate located in the back of your oral cavity with a much more fleshy-like surface.
