Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nasopalatine nerves exit through the incisive foramen, which is a bony opening in the midline of the hard palate. Both the right and left nasopalatine nerves exit through this opening. The posterior superior alveolar foramina are located on the posterior aspect of the maxilla and transmit the posterior superior alveolar nerves and vessels. The greater palatine foramina are located posteriorly on the hard palate and transmit the greater palatine nerves and vessels. The lesser palatine foramina are located even more posteriorly and transmit the lesser palatine nerves and vessels.
