<P> The palate / ˈpælɪt / is the roof of the mouth in humans and other mammals . It separates the oral cavity from the nasal cavity . A similar structure is found in crocodilians , but , in most other tetrapods , the oral and nasal cavities are not truly separate . The palate is divided into two parts , the anterior bony hard palate , and the posterior fleshy soft palate ( or velum ) . </P>
