On the ventral surface of hard palate, some projection or transverse ridges are present which are called as palatine rugae.
These rugae prevent slip out of the food from buccal cavity during mastication.
These rugae are well developed in carnivorous animals.
In rabbit, one pair opening of Nasopalatine duct is present at the anterior part of hard palate, these connect the buccal cavity to the Nasal passage. In Rabbit some olfactory receptor are also found in
