On the anterior portion of the roof of the hard palate are the transevese palatine folds (rugae) which are the irregular ridges in the mucous membrane that help facilitate the movement of food backwards towards the pharynx.

The epiglottis is flap of cartilage located in the throat behind the tongue and in front of the larynx. The epiglottis is usually upright at rest allowing air to pass into the larynx and lungs
