  • It bears transverse ridges called rugae. 
  • The posterior part of the hard palate is smooth and fleshy. It is called the soft palate. 
  • The posterior end of the soft palate ends in a conical flap-like structure called uvula. 
  • Uvula cuts off the upper nasal part of the pharynx from the oral part of the pharynx during swallowing.
