Audio problem: When going up the escalator, Booth's lines after the quip about tying up horses are overdubbed. (00:37:10)
Continuity mistake: At the end after shooting Farheed, we see Booth with both hands on the railing. Camera shows a secret service operative opening the camera bag containing the bomb then cuts back to Booth who suddenly has his gun back in his hands and raised as if he had just fired. (00:38:50)
Continuity mistake: Right at the end, when Booth and Bones are having drinks at a bar, as Booth says good bye, Bones has her head resting on her propped up left arm. When Booth turns back to leave, both her arms are on the counter. (00:40:30)
Continuity mistake: At the start, Zac leans forward and says to Booth about calling after every sexual encounter. Camera cuts to Bones and Zac is now sat back again. (00:02:25)
Other mistake: When Booth says about passing the journey in quiet meditation, the background outside the car (which is s projection) flashes white very briefly. (00:02:50)
Continuity mistake: When Booth arrives at the posh school, the gate-man goes to put his pen in his shirt pocket. Camera cuts and now his hand is suddenly down by his side. (00:03:50)
Continuity mistake: On the platform, Bones gets a phone call. Notice her ponytail. Before the phone call it's high and tight. She then looks at her phone and its low and loose then high and tight again. (00:11:50)
Revealing mistake: When Hodgins is explaining about decomp gasses, you can see in one shot Angela is mouthing his lines. (00:18:10)
Audio problem: When Angela is saying the line "put an adolescent in an awkward situation" you can see that her words don't match her mouth. (00:18:25)
Continuity mistake: When Bones is saying how good Hodgins is with bugs, the amount and length of noodles hanging out of her mouth changes instantly. (00:19:20)
Continuity mistake: When Booth finds the broken CD he rests it on his face, camera cuts and now he is pointing with it. (00:26:30)
Continuity mistake: While waiting for the sex tapes, Bones has her arms crossed or leaning on the car door depending on the shot. (00:29:25)
Continuity mistake: At the end when Booth is talking to Bones at the diner he has his left hand flat on the counter in one shot and then raised up in the next. (00:41:00)
Character mistake: While visiting Hanover Prep, Booth asks what "Omnia Mea Mecum Porto" meant, insinuating that he didn't know Latin. However, in later episodes every time he translates Latin he brings up that he was an altar boy, therefore he should have known Latin during this episode. (03:41:00)
Continuity mistake: The lawyer gives Booth the file on Howard Epps and he opens it with a picture on the left hand (screen right) side. Camera shows the file open and that photo is now on the right under a bulldog clip there fore making it impossible the photo fell and swapped sides when opened. The picture also rotates. (00:03:50)
Continuity mistake: When Booth places the beaker of Hodgin's beetle, Zac's beetle swaps place on the table instantly. It goes from left of the beaker to right. (00:06:35)

Continuity mistake: Angela asks Bones what the rush is. When she does, Bones' ponytail is down her back. Camera changes angle and now it's over her shoulder without moving her head. (00:12:45)
Audio problem: After Zac has decrypted the code, Hodgins states he's got something. When he starts to say the line the camera doesn't show him. However it changes halfway through "got." Once the camera angle has changed you can see Hodgins' mouth and it's not moving despite us hearing him speak. (00:15:40)
Visible crew/equipment: When at the judge's home, Bones explains about needing the body exhumed. In the picture behind her there is a black line reflected from a boom arm. This can't be from anything in the house as the camera and people stay still but the reflection goes away. (00:22:15)
Answer: Since the palatine bone is a bone that helps form the mouth it has a lot to do with speaking. The shape of it differs a lot depending on your ethnic background. I would guess that they, in the show, meant that the person's bone tells that they were Japanese and that it was "made for the purpose of speaking Japanese." That's what I'd assume anyway. I've studied molecular biology though, so I'm not an expert on bones.
