Soft palate: Inside the top of your mouth between your arch of teeth and behind to your throat is your palate. It has two parts: the hard(bony) and soft. The soft palate starts behind your hard palate to your throat where the little tissue(uvula) hangs down. It moves with speech, breathing, and swallowing. It is a highly sensitive area which can set off your gag reflex.
