The palate (/ ˈ p æ l ɪ t /) is the roof of the mouth in humans and other mammals. It separates the oral cavity from the nasal cavity . [ 1 ] A similar structure is found in crocodilians , but in most other tetrapods , the oral and nasal cavities are not truly separated.
A palette (/ ˈ p æ l ɪ t /) is a surface on which a painter arranges and mixes paints. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] A palette is made of materials such as wood, paper, glass, ceramic or plastic, and can vary greatly in size and shape.
Submucous cleft palate can also occur, which is a cleft of the soft palate with a split uvula, a furrow along the midline of the soft palate, and a notch in the back margin of the hard palate. [12] The diagnosis of submucous cleft palate often occurs late in children as a result of the nature of the cleft. [ 13 ]
The Palette has raised considerable scholarly debate over the years. [29] In general, the arguments fall into one of two camps: scholars who believe that the Palette is a record of an important event, and other academics who argue that it is an object designed to establish the mythology of united rule over Upper and Lower Egypt by the king.
The hard palate is a thin horizontal bony plate made up of two bones of the facial skeleton, located in the roof of the mouth. The bones are the palatine process of the maxilla and the horizontal plate of palatine bone. The hard palate spans the alveolar arch formed by the alveolar process that holds the upper teeth (when these are developed).
Plastic pallets are produced and used widely in the U.S. and Europe, spurred by the adoption of the ISPM 15. A full comparison of wood vs plastic can be made by a life cycle analysis. [14] Plastic pallets can cost 10 times as much as hardwood pallets [11] and even more expensive compared to cheap expendable softwood pallets.
Aftertaste: the taste left on the palate after wine has been swallowed. "Finish" is a synonym. [4] Alcoholic: a wine that has an unbalanced presence of too much alcohol. [4] Aroma: the smell of a wine. The term is generally applied to younger wines, while bouquet is reserved for more aged wines. [5]
A high-arched palate (also termed high-vaulted palate) is where the palate is unusually high and narrow. It is usually a congenital developmental feature that results from the failure of the palatal shelves to fuse correctly in development, the same phenomenon that leads to cleft palate . [ 1 ]
