What is "mandible"?

arrow

The mandible, commonly known as the jawbone, is the largest and strongest bone in the human skull located in the lower face. The mandible plays a crucial role in various functions, including biting, chewing, and speaking. It forms the lower jaw and houses the lower teeth, providing a stable foundation for the dental arch. The mandible is a movable bone, enabling the opening and closing of the mouth and facilitating the process of mastication. It also contributes to the overall structure and aesthetics of the face. Additionally, the mandible houses important structures such as the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which allows for the movement and articulation of the jaw during speech and eating.
