MAMMALIAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Mouse Adult Gross Anatomy Ontology and Mammalian Phenotype Ontology are downloaded weekly from the Mouse Genome Informatics databases at Jackson Laboratories (ftp://ftp.informatics.jax.org/pub/reports/index.html). For more information about these ontologies, see the MGI Publications Page at http://www.informatics.jax.org/mgihome/other/publications.shtml.

Term:abnormal levator veli palatini muscle morphology

Accession:MP:0030294 term browser browse the term
Definition:any structural anomaly of the paired cylindrical muscle that forms a V-shaped sling behind and above the soft palate; it originates from the apex of the inferior surface of the petrous temporal bone and the medial rim of the auditory tube, and inserts into the palatine aponeurosis between the two heads of palatopharyngeus; it elevates and laterally deviates the soft palate; it also aids the tensor veli palatini in opening the auditory tube on swallowing to allow equalization of pressure between the middle ear and pharynx
Synonyms:exact_synonym: abnormal levator muscle of the soft palate morphology;   abnormal levator muscle of the velum palatinum morphology;   abnormal levator veli morphology;   abnormal levator veli palatini morphology
 related_synonym: abnormal levator palati morphology;   abnormal musculus levator veli palatini
