#Mandible December 12
We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.
For December 2023, several of us are participating in the “30-Day ANATOMY Coach4aday Challenge.” My choice today is the MANDIBLE.
During this challenge, the participants select a bone or muscle in the human body, providing details about its location and physiological significance.
How the Challenge Works
- Identify one anatomical part of the body.
- Describe what its purpose is.
- Describe where it is located.
Post on any social media platform using the #Coach4adayChallenge
Identify Your Choice
The mandible is curved and shaped much like a horseshoe. It has two borders.
Purpose
It is the largest and strongest bone of the face.
It forms the lower jaw and acts as a receptacle for the lower teeth. It also articulates on either side with the temporal bone, forming the temporomandibular joint.
Location
It is commonly referred to as the lower jaw.
