Okuda et al. (2008) studied palatopharyngeus in 20 Japanese cadavers. In all cases (100%), an origin was present from the oral tendinous part of the posterior palatine aponeurosis, and this oral side origin interlaced with the fibers of the contralateral palatopharyngeal muscle. In 14 cases (70%), an origin was present from the nasal tendinous part of the posterior palatine aponeurosis. In 17 cases (85%), this nasal side origin interlaced with the fibers of the contralateral palatopharyngeal muscle.
Anatomy of the head and neck
Published in Helen Whitwell, Christopher Milroy, Daniel du Plessis, Forensic Neuropathology, 2021
The soft palate is the muscular posterior part, attached to the posterior border of the hard palate and extending as a posteroinferiorly curved free margin that terminates in the uvula. It is strengthened by a palatine aponeurosis formed by the expanded tendon of the tensor veli palatini and is attached to the posterior margin of the hard palate. Laterally, it is continuous with the wall of the pharynx and joined to the pharynx and tongue by the palatopharyngeal and palatoglossal arches. The masses of lymphoid tissue forming the palatine tonsil lie within the tonsillar fossa, bounded by the palatoglossal and palatopharyngeal arches and the tongue.

A thin, fibrous palatine aponeurosis is attached to the posterior border of the hard palate. It represents the expanded tendons of the tensor veli palatini muscles and provides the fibrous skeleton of the soft palate that supports the palatine musculature. The aponeurosis is thick in the anterior two-thirds of the soft palate but very thin further back. The palatine muscles are attached to the aponeurosis.

Both TGF-β2, Col I and periostin expression are detected in the palatine aponeurosis region of the soft palate.7 Exogenous TGF-β2 can induce periostin and Col I expression in the palate tissue in organ culture which indicates that TGF signaling might regulate soft palate development by mediating periostin expression.7
