1 Answer. 0. The uvula and soft palate work as a single unit to seal off the nasal passage when you drink or eat. The other function of these two structures is to reflect the sound of your voice out of your mouth rather than your nose. Additionally, they direct food and liquid into your pharynx and esophagus.
The soft palate is multi functional and aids speech and the pronunciation of velar consonants along with the dorsum of the tongue. When swallowing, it rises to close the nasal passages and prevent any food or liquid from entering into the nasal cavity. It does the same thing for the larynx when sneezing.
