• The palatine glands form a continuous layer on its posterior surface and around the uvula.
• Likewise, the palatine glands are innervated by the nasopalatine, greater palatine nerve and lesser palatine nerves.
• It divides near the levator veli palatini muscle into two branches : one supplies and follows the course of this muscle, and, winding over the upper border of the superior pharyngeal constrictor, supplies the soft palate and the palatine glands, anastomosing with its fellow of the opposite side and with the descending palatine branch of the maxillary artery; the other pierces the superior pharyngeal constrictor and supplies the palatine tonsil and auditory tube, anastomosing with the tonsillar branch of the facial artery and the ascending pharyngeal artery.
