bony palate

The bony palate is short, with its posterior end often located between the third molars.

Paleognathes are named for a characteristic, complex architecture of the bones in the bony palate.

The bony palate was long and flat.

The bony palate ends at the level of the back of the third upper molars.

The bony palate (roof of the mouth) only goes as far back as the second molar.

The mesopterygoid fossa, the openings behind the bony palate, is very narrow.

The bony palate extended beyond the third molars.

The bony palate is relatively short.

The incisive foramina, openings in the bony palate, extend back to a point next to the front root of M1.

Mammals have a secondary bony palate, which separates the respiratory passage from the mouth, allowing them to eat and breathe at the same time.

The bony palate itself is broad and lacks many indentations and protuberances present in other species.

Unlike primitive crocodylomorphs, crocodyliforms have secondary bony palates.

A crocodilian has a secondary bony palate that enables it to breathe when partially submerged, even if its mouth is full of water.

The skull with the bony palate is much produced backwards, but otherwise resembles that of Paradoxurus hermaphroditus.

They differ in size, colour and bill shape but are similar in skull shape and bony palate structure.

Secondary bony palates have been found in the more advanced cynodonts and have been used as evidence of high metabolic rates.

The incisive foramina (openings in the front part of the palate) are long and the bony palate itself is smooth.

Deinosuchus had a secondary bony palate, which would have permitted it to breathe through its nostrils while the rest of the head remained submerged underwater.

The bony palate is relatively short, with the mesopterygoid fossa extending forward to the end of the molar row or even between the third molars.

The bony palate is long and extends beyond the end of the molar row and the back margin of the maxillary bones.

In anatomy, posterolateral palatal pits are gaps at the sides of the back of the bony palate, near the last molars.

It blinked large green eyes in the darkness and made muffled chomping sounds as it worked its needle sharp red teeth against its bony palate.

The rest of the bony palate, unlike all other dinosaurs, is extended below the jaw line and would have pushed into the space between the toothless lower jaws.

But some cold-blooded vertebrates have secondary bony palates (crocodilians and some lizards), while birds, which are warm-blooded, do not have them.

Other shared characteristics include an essentially featureless bony palate, without many pits and ridges, and a broad mesopterygoid fossa (the opening behind the palate).
