Latin musculi palati mollis et faucium Gray's subject #243 1139 Origin Insertion Artery Nerve Vagus (CNX) except tensor veli palatini (Mandibular branch of CNV) Actions The muscle of the soft palate play important roles in swallowing and breathing.
Specific muscles include:
Muscle Action Nerve levator veli palatini deglutition Vagus nerve via pharyngeal plexus tensor veli palatini deglutition mandibular nerve palatoglossus respiration Vagus nerve via pharyngeal plexus palatopharyngeus respiration Vagus nerve via pharyngeal plexus musculus uvulae moves uvula Vagus nerve via pharyngeal plexus The salpingo- ,palato- ,and stylopharyngeal muscles (Pharynx lifting muscles) are innervated by the Nervus Glosspharngeus (IX) as well.
