For example, there is a gap between the maxilla and the palatine bone around the midline of the palate.
12.
The palate also began to extend back toward the throat, securing the entire mouth and creating a full palatine bone.
13.
The palatine bone has an anterior process, or projection, that reaches to the level of the fourth maxillary teeth.
14.
However, within the mesobatrachians families, it can be dependent on the species as to whether the palatine bone is present.
15.
It forms the anterior three quarters of the hard palate, the horizontal plate of the palatine bone making up the rest.
16.
Cyamodontoids are also distinguished by their large crushing teeth, which grow from the palatine bones on the roof of the mouth.
17.
For example, the palatine bone in many amphibians such as the Rough-skinned Newt manifests as a distinct V-shaped structure.
18.
There are two important foramina in the palatine bones that transmit nerves and blood vessels to this region : the greater and lesser palatine ).
19.
It is formed by the palatine process of the maxilla and horizontal plate of palatine bone, and spans the arch formed by the upper teeth.
20.
The larger greater palatine foramen is located in the posterolateral region of each of the palatine bones, usually at the apex of the maxillary third molar.
