 WSAVA 2001 - Oronasal Fistula and Palatal Repair
The hard palate is composed of paired bones fused on the midline.
In cats with palatal disjunction, if the palatal shelves are not too spread apart following the injury, the vomer bone and nasal structures located underneath may help in retaining the blood clot and healing may occur whether or not sutures have been placed on the mucoperiosteum.
The side effect of the technique is that a large part of the palate is left exposed and heals by second intention within weeks.

 Palatal surgery
Palate surgery is therefore frequently successful in eliminating or significantly reduce snoring, but not necessarily in curing OSAS by itself.
There are a number of different techniques available to treat the palate.
The UPPP is an excellent way to take care of the airway obstruction due to the palate and tonsils, but it must be remembered that sleep apnea can also be due to structural problems elsewhere in the throat.

 Encyclopedia: Labial-palatal consonant
This sound is not a doubly articulated labial-palatal, but rather a rounded palatal, meaning that it has secondary labial articulation.
This is consistent with it being the semivowel equivalent of [y], which is also has palatal articulation with secondary labialization.
The palate is the roof of the mouth in humans and vertebrate animals.

 Re: palatal weakness
The palate can be affected unilaterally by anything affecting the nerves supplying the palate from their origin in the brainstem to the point where they meet the muscle (the causes of bilateral palatal weakness are many; to what extent the palate is involved clinically can be difficult).
Also, as you pointed out motor neuron diseases (for example, ALS) may cause problems like this too.
So anywhere along this pathway, a lesion (for example,stroke in the brainstem, tumor)might cause unilateral palatal weakness.

 palatal consonant: Information From Answers.com
Consonants with other primary articulations may be palatalised, that is, accompanied by the raising of the tongue surface towards the hard palate.
For example, English [ʃ] (spelled sh) has such a palatal component, although its primary articulation involves the tip of the tongue and the upper gum (this type of articulation is called palatoalveolar).
Palatal consonants are consonants articulated with the middle or back part of the tongue raised against the hard palate (the middle part of the roof of the mouth).

 Rapid Palatal Expansion in the Young Adult: Time for a Paradigm Shift?
The patient was informed that he required orthognathic surgery to expand his upper jaw and correct his malocclusion, but he refused surgical expansion.
Recent evidence indicates that rapid palatal expansion can be used without surgery in young adults; the decision was therefore made to treat the patient nonsurgically.
The belief still persists among some clinicians that young adult patients require orthognathic surgery for palatal expansion, despite recent evidence supporting a nonsurgical approach after closure of the midpalatal suture.

 palatal nasal: Information From Answers.com
The airstream mechanism is pulmonic egressive, which means it is articulated by pushing air out of the lungs and through the vocal tract, rather than from the glottis or the mouth.
Its place of articulation is palatal which means it is articulated with the middle or back part of the tongue raised against the hard palate.
However, there are no minimal pairs for /nj/ and /ɲ/, so the palatal nasal is not a separate phoneme in English.

 The Palatal Ruga Pattern in Possible Paternity Determination
It is thus clear that the palatal rugae cannot be used in a practical procedure to determine paternity.
The palatal rugae of 17 families (34 parents and 49 children) were classified and recorded, and the data used to construct a statistical analysis system (SAS) cluster map.
The use of a genetic marker in paternity determination has been successful with the ABO blood group system but unsuccessful in dermatoglyphics and palatal rugae because the genetic mechanism is polygenic.

 Int. J. Dev. Biol.- Terminal differentiation of palatal medial edge epithelial cells in vitro is not necessarily ...
ABSTRACT During fusion of the mammalian secondary palate, it has been suggested that palatal medial edge epithelial (MEE) cells disappear by means of apoptosis, epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) and epithelial cell migration.
Furthermore, mouse and human amniotic fluids were found to prevent MEE cell differentiation in the cultured single palatal shelf, although paired palatal shelves fused successfully even in the presence of amniotic fluid.
We thereby found that MEE cells can disappear throughout the medial edge even without contact and adhesion to the opposing MEE in suspension culture with 95% O

(The terms “centum” and “satem” come respectively from the Latin and Avestan words for “hundred,” illustrating the two developments.) The boldface entry words in Appendix I do not distinguish plain from palatal velars, but more precise information is given for the interested reader in some entries following the English gloss of the root.
In the so-called “centum languages” (comprising Greek, Italic, Germanic, and Celtic), the palatal velars become plain velars and the labiovelars at first remained, while in the “satem” languages (Indo-Iranian, Balto-Slavic, and Armenian), the labiovelars became plain velars and the palatals became sibilants.
