In accordance with the N. A. 'Torus palatinus' denotes a median low ridge on the oral surface of the Palatum osseum. Crista palatina, however, refers in the N. A. to a transverse crest, which is present among domestic mammals only occasionally in the pig. See Os palatinum.[NOMINA ANATOMICA VETERINARIA (2005)]
