Mandible

position to be midmost and some prefer rear most. Conceptual definition is the position of the mandible relative to the maxilla when the muscles that support the mandible are at their most relaxed and least strained position and this definition supports the concept of qualitative relationship between the jaw position and other joint elements. Geometrical definition describes the position of the mandible when head of the condyle is in the terminal hinge…

of various disorders that happens in between the temporomandibular joint. The TMJ is a link joint that helps the jaw with everyday complicated movements. Examples: eating swallowing, talking and some facial expressions the require movement of the mandible and jaw joint. The temporomandibular joint is made of capsule, retrodiscal tissue and an articular disc. The capsule is a fibrous membrane that surrounds the joint and attaches the articular eminence, articular disc and the neck of the…

cross referencing of the data observed in conjunction with the charts of tooth formation times, eruption and morphology of the dentition, an accurate age of the specimen provided can be assessed. The skeleton of UC21 and the accompanied cranium and mandible of UC28, will provide…

very effectively. A common goal for a leader and those he or she leads can also be an effective way to maintain power. It can be used as a manipulation tool to get people to follow your demands. For instance, in the DreamWorks film Antz, General Mandible has manipulated the ants into thinking that they must constantly work, and so without question, the ants do so. “Look I got orders and those orders say dig” – Foreman. The effect this technique has on society, is…

hypertrophy (HFH). HFH is further divided in to: a. True hemi facial hypertrophy (THFH), exhibiting unilateral enlargement of the viscerocranium, bounded superiorly by the frontal bone (not including the eye), inferiorly by the inferior border of the mandible, medially by the midline, and laterally by the ear, including the pinna with enlargement of all tissues, teeth, bones and soft tissue in this area. b. Partial hemi facial hypertrophy (PHFH) if not all structures are enlarged to the same…

The mandible, in humans, is found near the inferior part of the skull. It facilitates the opening and closing of the jaw, as well as allowing us to chew food. A chicken’s mandible is similar to that of a humans. However, it has increased flexibility and mobility which are more suited to the chicken’s needs. The cranium’s primary function in…

recession of gum tissue or the exposure of a root surface. A tongue tied infant can have a moderate to severe issue with their tongue. A severely tongue tied infant is when the frenulum of the child is attached from the tip of the tongue to the lower mandible gum tissue. This problem allows only the sides of the tongue to lift and move and not the center. When the tongue is lifted, it gives…

alert regarding the unusual presentation of this neoplasm and should include desmoplastic ameloblastoma as differential diagnosis in any lesion ranging from simple abscess to any fibro-osseous lesions/neoplastic growth presenting in anterior maxilla/mandible. The definite diagnosis requires histopathological examination. Also with the potential for recurrence, such cases should always be treated by complete…

Evaluate how the name of a muscle can distinguish its location, action, shape, and function. Select five different muscles to make this distinction. Depending on the anatomical position of the body part, certain prefixes, and suffixes are utilized in order to find its location verbally. These prefixes and suffixes can be described by the: size of the muscle, location of the muscles, direction of the muscle fibers, amount of origins, shape of a muscle, and location of a muscle origin/insertion.…

black plumage is sharply delineated from the light-colored plumage elsewhere. The underparts of the wings and belly are white, becoming pale yellow in the upper breast, while the ear patches are bright yellow. The upper mandible of the 8 cm (3 in) long bill is black, and the lower mandible can be pink, orange or lilac. (Williams, Tony D. (1995). The Penguins. Oxford, England: Oxford University Press.
