Lesser palatine canals
Latin canales palatini minores

The lesser palatine canals (also accessory palatine canals) are passages in the palatine bone that carry the lesser and middle palatine nerves and vessels.[1]

Their openings are known as the lesser palatine foramina, and they transmit the lesser palatine artery, vein, and nerve, as wll as the middle palatine vessels and nerve.[1]
