“…First, the present experiments have focused on shear induced papillae deflections. It is known however from psychophysical studies [35] and ultrasound imaging of oral manipulation of fluids [36] that the in-mouth texture perception also involves squeeze flows corresponding to an upward motion of the tongue, whose consequences on papillae deflections have been theoretically modeled by Lauga et al [14]. Experimental investigations of this exploration condition remain to be performed.…”

An experimental biomimetic tongue-palate system has been developed to probe human in-mouth texture perception. Model tongues are made from soft elastomers patterned with fibrillar structures analogue to human filiform papillae. The palate is represented by a rigid flat plate parallel to the plane of the tongue. To probe the behavior under physiological flow conditions, deflections of model papillae are measured using a novel fluorescent imaging technique enabling sub-micrometer resolution of the displacements. Using optically transparent newtonian liquids under steady shear flow, we show that deformations of the papillae allow determining their viscosity from 1 Pa.s down to the viscosity of water of 1 mPa.s, in full quantitative agreement with a recently proposed model [Lauga et al., Frontiers in Physics, 2016, 4, 35]. The technique is further validated for a shear-thinning and optically opaque dairy system.

“…The first true anatomical descriptions of normal anatomy of the palate and pharynx were published by Von Luschka in Germany in 1868,[ 1 ] then in 1935 anatomist James Whillis[ 2 ] showed that some fibers of the superior constrictor were inserted into the palatal aponeurosis and constituted lamella he referred to it as the palatopharyngeal sphincter. Later, in 1941 Oldfield[ 3 ] noted that the muscular elements of the soft palate apart from the uvular muscle consist essentially of four slings these are actually bilateral muscles which affect the sling-like function through their common insertion into the tissues of the soft palate.…”

The first true anatomical descriptions of the normal anatomy of the palate and pharynx were published by Von Luschka in 1868, and then in 1935 anatomist James Whillis described pharyngeal sphincter. Later, in 1941 Michael Oldfield noted that the muscular elements of the soft palate have a sling-like function. Although there have been conflicting descriptions of the role of the palatopharyngeus, multiple function such as speech, swallowing, and respiration, it could role in all this function. Although, the palatopharyngeus muscle has many important functions, but it remains the missing muscle that we need to know more about it.

For a functional physiologic reconstruction of the cleft palate, it is necessary not only to reconstruct the levator veli palatini and palatopharyngeus muscle slings, but also to approximate and suture the fibers of the palatal aponeurosis to the corresponding fibers of the opposite side after unfolding them in a medio-dorso-cranial direction. In this manner, a continuous palatal aponeurosis can be created, which subsequently can serve as a transmitter of the muscle forces.
