GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The muscle has its origin from the inferior surface of the palatine aponeurosis. It descends along with the muscle of the contralateral side in an inferior, forward, and lateral direction anterior to the palatine tonsil and gets inserted into the posterolateral surface of the tongue.

Detailed explanation-2: -Abstract. The palatine aponeurosis is a thin, fibrous lamella comprising the extended tendons of the tensor veli palatini muscles, attached to the posterior border and inferior surface of the palatine bone.

Detailed explanation-3: -The space between the tongue and palatoglossal and palatopharyngeal arches is called the tonsillar fossa (sinus), and it is where the palatine tonsils are located.

Detailed explanation-4: -Aponeurosis palatina Attached to the posterior border of the hard palate is a thin, firm fibrous lamella called the palatine aponeurosis, which supports the muscles and gives strength to the soft palate. It is thicker above than below, where it becomes very thin and difficult to define.
