soft palate
The soft palate is the soft, flexible, muscular part at the rear of the roof of the mouth in mammals. It serves as a movable barrier that separates the mouth from the nasal cavity, allowing functions such as eating, swallowing and speech. It assists in vocalization and plays a key role in preventing food and liquid from entering the nasal passage.
