What are the 2 types of palates in the pigs mouth?

Pigs have two types of palates in their mouths: the hard palate and the soft palate. The hard palate is the bony front portion that provides structural support and aids in the grinding of food, while the soft palate is the muscular back portion that helps in the swallowing process and separates the nasal cavity from the oral cavity. Both play essential roles in the pig's feeding and respiratory functions.
