In cases of cleft palate, where do all the velar muscles attach to?

• the uvula

When producing sounds without nasality, this muscle helps move the velum up and back:

• tensor veli palatini

• levator veli palatini

• palatoglossus

• orbicularis oris

These muscles help narrow the pharyngeal walls, to move food down when swallowing:

• the three pharyngeal constrictor muscles

• the three extrinsic laryngeal muscles

• muscular uvulae, tensor veli palatini and palatopharyngeus

• temporalis, masseter and transverse muscles

This mucous fold provides support and is located under the tongue. It can cause issues if it is too short or tight.
