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 palate is commonly called the roof of the mouth. It is divided into two parts: the bony hard palate in the front, and the fleshy soft palate (called the velum) in the back of the mouth. The hard palate is part of the oral cavity and the soft palate is part of the oropharynx.

Detailed explanation-3: -The hard palate is located at the front of the roof of the mouth, and is comprised of two bones: the palatine bone and the maxilla, each of which are covered by soft tissue.

Detailed explanation-4: -soft palate, also called palatal velum, velum, or muscular palate, in mammals, structure consisting of muscle and connective tissue that forms the roof of the posterior (rear) portion of the oral cavity.

Detailed explanation-5: -The hard palate is a horizontal bony plate that forms a subsection of the palate of the mouth. It forms the anterior two-thirds of the roof of the oral cavity. The hard palate is comprised of two facial bones: the palatine process of the maxilla and the paired palatine bones.
