In Biological terms
A covering or partition of thin membranous tissue, such as the veil of a mushroom or a membrane of the brain.
In Anatomical terms
The soft palate.
In Zoology terms
A ciliated swimming organ that develops in certain larval stages of most marine gastropod mollusks.
The eighth part of the human speech organ is the soft palate, also known as the velum. It plays a role in controlling the airflow through the oral and nasal cavities during speech production.
Organs of speech are classified into three main categories: Primary articulators: tongue and lips Secondary articulators: teeth, alveolar ridge (gum ridge), hard palate, velum (soft palate), and uvula Tertiary articulators: pharynx, larynx, and vocal folds
In phonetics, the different places of articulation refer to where in the mouth the speech sounds are produced. These places include the lips, teeth, alveolar ridge, hard palate, velum, and glottis. The specific place of articulation affects the sound produced by controlling the airflow and shaping the vocal tract, resulting in different speech sounds.
Velar sounds in phonetics are produced by raising the back of the tongue to the soft palate. They are characterized by a constriction at the velum, or soft palate, and are typically voiced. Velar sounds include sounds like /k/ and /g/. In language, velar sounds serve various functions, such as distinguishing between words (minimal pairs), conveying meaning, and contributing to the overall phonetic inventory of a language.
velum
The velum is typically lowered for sounds produced with the oral cavity, such as vowels and most consonants. When the velum is lowered, air flows through the oral cavity, allowing for sounds to be articulated without passing through the nasal cavity.

The easiest way to cut out dog footprint stencils is with velum and a craft knife. Trace the footprint on the velum and carefully cut it out with your craft knife for a stencil that can be used multiple times.
Leather made from sheepskin is called velum.
Speech organs produce the sounds needed for communication and language. They are the lips, tongue, alveolar ridge, hard palate, velum, uvula, and the glottis.
The soft palate (also known as the velum, palatal velum, or muscular palate) is, in mammals, the soft tissue constituting the back of the roof of the mouth. The soft palate is part of the palate of the mouth; the other part is the hard palate. The soft palate is distinguished from the hard palate at the front of the mouth in that it does not contain bone.

An embryological feature of a conch is the presence of a planktonic larval stage called a veliger. Veligers have a shell and a ciliated velum used for swimming and feeding, before undergoing metamorphosis into the adult conch.
