File Baltic sperm whale mandible .jpg thumb right Sperm whale mandible In vertebrates, the mandible , lower jaw or jawbone is a bone forming the skull with the cranium. In lobe finned fish es and the early fossil tetrapod s, the bone homology biology homologous to the mandible of mammals is merely the largest of several bones in the lower jaw. In such animals, it is referred to as the dentary bone, and forms the body of the outer surface of the jaw. It is bordered below by a number of splenial bones, while the angle of the jaw is formed by a lower angular bone and a suprangular bone just above it. The inner surface of the jaw is lined by a prearticular bone, while the articular bone forms the articulation with the skull proper. Finally a set of three narrow coronoid bones lie above the prearticular bone. As the name implies, the majority of the teeth are attached to the dentary, but there are commonly also teeth on the coronoid bones, and sometimes on the prearticular as well. ref name VB cite book author Romer, Alfred Sherwood author2 Parsons, Thomas S. year 1977 title The Vertebrate Body publisher Holt Saunders International location Philadelphia, PA pages 244 247 isbn 0 03 910284 X ref This complex primitive pattern has, however, been simplified to various degrees in the great majority of vertebrates, as bones have either fused or vanished entirely.

Their proximal or cranial ends are connected with the ear capsules, and their distal extremities are joined to one another at the symphysis by mesodermal tissue.

From the proximal end of each cartilage the malleus and incus , two of the bones of the middle ear, are developed the next succeeding portion, as far as the lingula, is replaced by fibrous tissue, which persists to form the sphenomandibular ligament . Between the lingula and the canine tooth the cartilage disappears, while the portion of it below and behind the incisor teeth becomes ossified and incorporated with this part of the mandible.

This ridge divides below and encloses a triangular eminence, the mental protuberance, the base of which is depressed in the center but raised on either side to form the mental tubercle.

Side view of the mandible at different periods of life. The Human mandible mandible is the bone for the lower jaw, both in humans and animals. When remains of humans are found, the mandible is one of the common findings, sometimes the only bone found. Skilled experts can estimate the age of the human upon death because the mandible changes over a person s life, as described in this article. At birth Fig. 1 the body of the bone is a mere shell, containing the sockets of the two incisor, the canine, and the two deciduous molar teeth , imperfectly partitioned off from one another. The mandibular canal is of large size, and runs near the lower border of the bone the mental foramen opens beneath the socket of the first deciduous Molar tooth molar tooth . The angle is obtuse 175 , and the condyloid portion is nearly in line with the body. The coronoid process is of comparatively large size, and projects above the level of the condyle. After birth Fig. 2 the two segments of the bone become joined at the symphysis, from below upward, in the first year but a trace of separation may be visible in the beginning of the second year, near the alveolar margin. The body becomes elongated in its whole length, but more especially behind the mental foramen, to provide space for the three additional teeth developed in this part. The depth of the body increases owing to increased growth of the alveolar part, to afford room for the roots of the teeth, and by thickening of the subdental portion which enables the jaw to withstand the powerful action of the Mastication masticatory muscles but the alveolar portion is the deeper of the two, and, consequently, the chief part of the body lies above the oblique line.

Their function is typically to grasp, crush, or cut the insect s food, or to defend against predators or rivals. Insect mandibles, which appear to be evolutionarily derived from legs, move in the horizontal plane unlike those of vertebrates, which appear to be derived from gill arches and move vertically. Grasshoppers, crickets, and other simple insects The mouthparts of orthoptera n insects are often used as a basic example of mandibulate chewing mouthparts, and the mandibles themselves are likewise generalized in structure. They are large and hardened, shaped like pinchers, with cutting surfaces on the wiktionary distal distal portion and chewing or grinding surfaces wiktionary basal basally . They are usually lined with teeth and move sideways. Large pieces of leaves can therefore be cut and then pulverized near the actual mouth opening. This same simple structure is seen in all of the remaining Polyneoptera n insect orders, with the exception of the Paraneoptera Hemiptera , Thysanoptera , and Phthiraptera . Likewise, the mandibles of adult and larval Odonata are simple and generalized, while Ephemeroptera rarely feed as adults, though the larvae nymphs have simple mandibles. ref http www.nps.gov archive grsa resources curriculum elem lesson14.htm National Park Service Insect Design Insect Mouth Parts ref True bugs The Hemiptera , and other insects whose mouthparts are described as piercing sucking, have ... only the left mandible is present, modified into a stylet.

Mandibles are often simply referred to as jaws. Mandibles are present in the extant subphylum subphyla Myriapoda millipedes and others , Crustacean Crustacea and Hexapoda insects etc. . These groups make up the clade Mandibulata , which is currently believed to be the sister group to the rest of arthropods, the clade Arachnomorpha Chelicerata Trilobite Trilobita . Unlike the chelicerae of arachnid s, mandibles can often be used to chew food. Mandibulates also differ by having Antenna biology antennae , and also by having three distinct body regions head, thorax and abdomen the prosoma of chelicerates is not a fusion of head and thorax, although often called a cephalothorax . Image Mandible.svg Amphipoda Amphipod mandible diagram thumb Insects main Mandible insect mouthpart Insect mandibles are as diverse in form as their food. For instance, grasshopper s and many other plant eating insects have sharp edged mandibles that move side to side. Most Lepidoptera butterflies and moths lack mandibles as they mainly feed on nectar from flowers. Queen bee s have mandibles with sharp cutting teeth unlike worker bee s, who have toothless jaws. Male Dobsonfly dobsonflies have slender mandibles up to 2.5 cm long, half as long as the insect s body. Potter wasp s use their mandibles to mix droplets of water with clay while constructing a nest. Ants Ant s have long, broad, serrated jaws, used for digging, collecting food, fighting and cutting, and are probably the most important work tool ants possess. Ants typically bite each other when fighting. Some ants use mandibles to injure the enemy and squirt poison into the wound. Harvester ant s use their mandibles to collect and carry seeds.
