In phonetics, the terms velum, pharynx, larynx, and dorsum are used as often or more often than the simpler names.
A short distance behind the upper teeth is a change in the angle of the roof of the mouth.
The velum can also move: if it lowers, it creates an opening that allows air to flow out through the nose; if it stays raised, the opening is blocked, and no air can flow through the nose.

  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Nasal vowel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
A nasal vowel is a vowel that is produced with a lowering of the velum so that air escapes both through the mouth and the nose.
In most languages, vowels that are adjacent to nasal consonants are produced partially or fully with a lowered velum in a natural process of assimilation and are therefore technically nasal, though few speakers would notice.

Suffice to say that the velum is a sail-like curtain of tissue (hence the name) which pushes water into the pharyngeal passage and is supported and controlled by a velar skeleton.
Mallatt views the velum as an accessory structure anterior to the mandibular arch which may or may not have been present in the ancestor of gnathostomes, but which disappeared in that line without a trace.
By contrast, Janvier sees the velum as the first development and asserts that the internal branchial skeleton was developed by serial duplication and adaptation of the velar skeleton in early gnathostomes.

 Dictionary Velum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
Some agarics and boletes - when young and still closed - support a veil or membrane, the velum partiale, that connects the cap-margin with the stem, thus protecting the lamellae or pores (tubes).
Remains of the velum either occur as flecks or scales on the cap (e.g.

The velum is readily visible in live specimens, and the base of the velum has melanophores and appears as a dark crescent; one way to distinguish veligers of false dark mussels and wedge clams from dreissenids is that they lack this dark crescent at the base of the velum.
The velum is readily visible in live specimens, and the base of the velum has melanophores and appears as a dark crescent.

 Science Fair Projects - Velum
The velum is the locomotory and feeding organ provided with cilia found in the larval stage called the veliger or "velum-bearing" stage of bivalves, such as mussels and oysters; or a delicate membrane found on certain Protists.
The velum is the circular membrane round the cap of a sea jelly, or medusa.
The velum is the soft palate behind the hard palate.

 Department of Linguistics, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia
It must be remembered, however, that the lowering of the velum may in some cases not be accompanied by the active contraction of the muscles but may be due to the relaxation of the muscles which raise the velum.
The obvious consequence of a lower velum is an increase in the area of the opening of the nasal cavity.
In the case of the /w/ in /wa:/ the degree of opening of the velum is optional (as velum opening in non-contrastive in English for approximants).

They are situated above and in front of the anterior medullary velum and superior peduncle, and below and behind the third ventricle and posterior commissure.
They are covered by the splenium of the corpus callosum, and are partly overlapped on either side by the medial angle, or pulvinar, of the posterior end of the thalamus; on the lateral aspect, under cover of the pulvinar, is an oval eminence, named the medial geniculate body.
From the inferior end of the longitudinal sulcus, a white band, termed the frenulum veli, is prolonged downward to the anterior medullary velum; on either side of this band the trochlear nerve emerges, and passes forward on the lateral aspect of the cerebral peduncle to reach the base of the brain.

Dorsal consonants are articulated with the back of the tongue against either the hard palate, or the flexible velum just behind it, or even against the uvula.
Palatal consonants are consonants articulated with the middle or back part of the tongue raised against the hard palate (the middle part of the roof of the mouth).
Velars are consonants articulated with the back part of the tongue (the dorsum) against the soft palate (the back part of the roof of the mouth, known also as the velum).

Oxidants are responsible for damaging the feeding organ, known as the velum in marine snails, through a chemical reaction involving the velum cells.
The velum is important to the larva for both feeding and swimming until it reaches maturation.
Throughout development, the velum is shed only when the larva reaches the point at which it is a fully-grown snail that is ready to use its real mouth for feeding.

Dit vlies heet een velum, en omdat dit het hele vruchtlichaam omgeeft, heet het universeel velum (rood in de figuur).
Bij Gordijnzwammen is het universeel velum doorgaans niet of nauwelijks ontwikkeld, maar is het partieel velum zichtbaar als een spinnenwebachtig “gordijn" dat de jonge plaatjes bedekt en als vezelige restjes aan de hoedrand en op de steel overblijft.
En tenslotte zijn er nogal wat plaatjeszwammen waarbij het velum in het geheel niet ontwikkeld is: zij worden als het ware naakt geboren.

 ASY: /banana/ example   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
Opening and closing the velum determines whether or not a particular consonant is nasalized.
For example, if the velum is closed during the production of a voiced alveolar (where the tongue tip is raised to touch the roof of the mouth behind the teeth), the consonant /d/ will be produced.
For example, the velum is closed at the beginning of /banana/, opens rapidly, and stays open for the rest of the articulation.

Photoelectric recordings of ciliary beat are influenced by the location of the diode with respect to the image of beating cilia.
Thus, cilia either beat towards or away from the diode and the extended cilia during effective strokes could clearly be seen as the peaks of metachronal waves.
Recordings from post-oral cilia could only be performed when the posterior side of the velum faced the photodiode, since the post-oral band is located on this side of the velum.
