| posterior inferior nasal branches of greater palatine nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branches of greater palatine nerve to posterior inferior lateral wall of nasal cavity, including posterior aspect of mucosa over posterior portion of inferior nasal concha and meatus; may arise independently from pterygopalatine ganglion. Synonym: rami nasales posteriores inferiores nervi palatini majoris. (05 Mar 2000) |

| posterior palatine arch | One of a pair of ridges or folds of mucous membrane which passes downward from the posterior margin of the soft palate to the lateral wall of the pharynx. It encloses the palatopharyngeus muscle and forms the posterior margin of the tonsillar fossa. It also demarcates the isthmus of fauces from oropharynx. Synonym: arcus palatopharyngeus, pharyngopalatine arch, posterior palatine arch, posterior pillar of fauces. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior palatine foramina | Openings on the hard palate of palatine canals passing vertically through the tuberosity of the palatine bone and transmitting the smaller palatine nerves and vessels. Synonym: foramina palatina minora, posterior palatine foramina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior palatine spine | The sharp posterior extremity of the nasal crest of the hard palate. Synonym: spina nasalis posterior, posterior palatine spine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| horizontal plate of palatine bone | The part of the palatine bone that forms the posterior part (approximately one third) of the bony palate. Synonym: lamina horizontalis ossis palatini. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sphenoid process of palatine bone | The posterior and smaller of the two processes at the extremity of the vertical plate of the palatine bone; processus sphenoidalis cartilaginis septi nasi, processus posterior cartilaginis septi nasi. Synonym: processus sphenoidalis, sphenoid process. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nasal surface of palatine bone | The nasal surface of the perpendicular lamina of the palatine bone that forms part of the lateral wall of the nasal cavity, the nasal surface of the horizontal lamina of the palatine bone that forms part of the floor of the nasal cavity. Synonym: facies nasalis ossis palatini. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus for greater palatine nerve | A groove on both the body of the maxilla and the perpendicular plate of the palatine bone; when the bones are articulated the grooves form the greater palatine canal. Synonym: sulcus palatinus major, pterygopalatine groove, sulcus for greater palatine nerve, sulcus pterygopalatinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| descending palatine artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, maxillary; distribution, soft palate, gums, and bones and mucous membrane of hard palate; anastomoses, sphenopalatine, ascending palatine, ascending pharyngeal, and tonsillar branches of facial. Synonym: arteria palatina descendens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse palatine fold | A masticatory vestige on the hard palate; one of several irregular, sometimes branching, crests of soft tissue that radiate from the region of the incisive papillae at their most anterior parts and extend a slight distance backward, crossing the hard palate and reaching laterally for variable distances. Synonym: plica palatina transversa, ruga palatina, transverse palatine ridge. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse palatine ridge | A masticatory vestige on the hard palate; one of several irregular, sometimes branching, crests of soft tissue that radiate from the region of the incisive papillae at their most anterior parts and extend a slight distance backward, crossing the hard palate and reaching laterally for variable distances. Synonym: plica palatina transversa, ruga palatina, transverse palatine ridge. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse palatine suture | Line of union of the palatine processes of the maxillae with the horizontal plates of the palatine bones. Synonym: sutura palatina transversa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ethmoidal crest of palatine bone | A ridge on the medial surface of the perpendicular part of the palatine bone to which the middle nasal concha attaches posteriorly. Synonym: crista ethmoidalis ossis palatini. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lesser palatine artery | <anatomy, artery> One of several posterior branches of the descending palatine in the greater palatine canal, distributed to the soft palate and tonsil. Synonym: arteria palatina minor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lesser palatine foramina | Openings on the hard palate of palatine canals passing vertically through the tuberosity of the palatine bone and transmitting the smaller palatine nerves and vessels. Synonym: foramina palatina minora, posterior palatine foramina. (05 Mar 2000) |
