Palate Cancer. The palate is commonly called the roof of the mouth. It is divided into two parts: the bony hard palate in the front, and the fleshy soft palate (called the velum) in the back of the mouth. The hard palate is part of the oral cavity and the soft palate is part of the oropharynx.
The head and neck includes the following organs and body parts. The mouth includes the lips, gums and tongue. The muscles of the base of the tongue (tongue base) continue into the upper throat (oropharynx). The roof of the mouth is called the hard palate. Behind this is the soft palate. The soft palate lifts to close off the passageways to the nose so food does not go through the nose when swallowing. Under the tongue and near the upper back teeth are salivary ducts that release saliva into the mouth.
