Mandible

the 6th or 7th week of embryonic development. They will develop through one of two ways. Intramembranous Ossification. This is the development of embryonic connective tissue (mesenchyme) to flat bones such as the skull, and other bones such as the mandible, clavicle and maxilla. The steps of Intramembranous Ossification are as follows;…

Phorid flies “land on the mandible that anchors the ants head during the cutting process, and lays its eggs inside the ant’s mouth” (Branganca, Tohnasca, Lucia, 2003). Phorids are found to only attack the right side of an ant. In a study conducted by Tohnasca, Braganca, and Erthal…

Wasps make up an enormously diverse array of insects, with some 30,000 identified species. We are most familiar with those that are wrapped in bright warning colors—ones that buzz angrily about in groups and threaten us with painful stings. But most wasps are actually solitary, non-stinging varieties. And all do far more good for humans by controlling pest insect populations than harm. Wasps are distinguishable from bees by their pointed lower abdomens and the narrow "waist," called a petiole,…

Mandible was developed at the lower jaw and helped teeth move. My pig had only two canine teeth at the upper jaw. The hard palate was seen at the top of the mouth. The soft palate was seen right next to the hard palate. The function of these palates was producing…

Teeth Teeth are by far one of the most fascinating parts of the human body. The funny thing is, unless we are actively thinking about taking care of them, or brushing them, most of us hardly ever think about our teeth. However, just because you don't think of them, does not mean they are not doing many things at once! There are actually four different kinds of teeth: incisors, canines, premolars, and molars. Each of these four types of teeth perform different (and specific) functions. For…

As mentioned above, the two skulls were compared are Proconsul Africanus (an ape skull) and Gracile Australopithecine (a hominid skull). Proconsul Africanus was from Kenya and lived 23.8-5.3 million years ago. However, Gracile Australopithecine was from Ethiopia and lived 5.3-1.8 million years ago. Based on observation the tooth size is different especially in terms of the canine teeth. The ape skull has large canine teeth whereas the hominid skull has small ones. The brain size of the hominid…

than just the principle of life itself. One can value life through their work, family, and the through the fear of the unknown. “Out there, his voice is still his voice- not a reasonable facsimile of it, but his.” (Jones, 15). Robert Ebert lost his mandible because of cancer, through this he lost his ability to eat, drink,…

religious assumption. I found myself as shocked as the professor; how could a college student bring biblical knowledge into a scientific class without expecting to have her evidence for life and life’s origin, falsified? The professor describes that his “mandible dropped” (Root-Bernstein…

esophagus for digestion. Sensory recognition is critical at this stage and the movement and timing patterns in this phase varies depending on the viscosity. The salvia and food has now created a bolus in which lateral movements of the tongue and mandible are made. Furthermore, the soft palate has a passive role in the oral preparatory phase. The pharynx and larynx are at rest during oral preparatory which leads into the second phase of swallowing. In the oral preparatory stage, if liquid is…

Jaws and enamel have developed from chimps to guys. food eaten and how we method foods via throughout the centuries have effected evolution. The human masticatory machine involves in feeding and speech and has developed within the history of human beings to which they talk about the hominin evolution. There’s believed to be more than one evolutionary lineage with humans. Human evolution is sort of a jumbled mess of ups and downs. In this article, they're trying to overview the evolution of the…
