📖 1. Mandible Anatomy

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Mandible (2023-2024 FICHE DE COURS UE spé 2,3,5): An unpaired, mobile bone of the facial skeleton, connected to the skull at the temporal bone via the temporo-mandibular joint, enabling mouth opening and mastication.

  • Only mobile bone of the facial skeleton (2023-2024 FICHE DE COURS UE spé 2,3,5): The mandible is unique among facial bones because it is the only bone capable of movement, primarily due to the action of masticatory muscles.

  • Connected to the skull at the temporal bone via temporo-mandibular joint (2023-2024 FICHE DE COURS UE spé 2,3,5): The mandible articulates with the temporal bone through the temporo-mandibular joint, allowing jaw movements such as opening, closing, and lateral motions.

  • Mandible consists of two parts: horizontal body and vertical branches (2023-2024 FICHE DE COURS UE spé 2,3,5): The horizontal body forms the main chin area, while the vertical branches extend upward to connect with the skull.
