The probe on the left is pointing to a "greater palatine foramen" and the probe on the right is pointing to a "lesser palatine foramen". There is a total of 6 palatine foramina (2 "greater" and 4 "lesser"). Each side of the mouth has 1 "greater palatine foramen" paired with 2 smaller, inferiorly-located "lesser palatine foramina".
