Eli5: What are the round flat things on the roof of the mouth?

214 views

You know the two round, flat things you feel when you press your tongue against the front of the roof of your mouth? What actually are those and why do we have them? I tried to Google it but the results were all about growths and cysts and things. This is something that seems to be normal and I think everyone has them.

Its likely just your hard palate, it has some ridges/arches then turns soft ( the soft palate) . Otherwise you are Gonna have to post a photo , most other mentions here covered the good ideas, could also but a cleft palate but doesnt fit the description at all. Just spitballing anymore
