The third cephalic appendage, and first mouthpart appendage of isopods. It generally has a lateral three-articled palp and is made up of the following functional regions: incisor process, spine row, molar process, dorsal condyle, and posterior articulation.
a component of the mouthparts used for cutting and chewing food.
The beak, formed by an extension of a skull bone combined with a horny substance called keratin. There are upper and lower mandibles.
Pair of strongly sclerotized, lateral mouthparts lying between the labrum and labiomaxillary complex, which are used for chewing; normally a mandible is differentiated apically into one or more teeth. [drawing
the anterior-most pair of appendages comprising an insect's mouthparts. The tips of the mandibles are usually hardened and adapted for biting, scraping, or piercing.
The chewing mouthpart of many insects (Fig. 62A).
the most anterior of the paired movable mouthparts, originating on either side of the mouth; composed usually of a body bearing a distal incisor, lacinia mobilis, spine row, molar, and 3-segmented palp
insects' first pair of jaws.
The lower or upper part of a bird's beak.
large tooth like structure used for chewing.
The third cephalic appendage, and first mouthpart appendage of amphipods, used to masticate food. It generally has a lateral three-articled palp (used for cleaning the bases of the antennae) and is made up of the incisor process, lacinia mobilis, spine row and molar process (Moore and McCormick, 1969; Barnard and Karaman, 1991). See figure.
One of a pair of jaws in insects and beaked animals, such as the giant squid.
Mouthpart used for crushing hard prey
The upper and lower jaw and the beak. (Image also shows tongue and open beak.)
The paired, heavily sclerotized biting and chewing lateral appendage of the mouthparts between the labrum and maxilla.
Horseshoe-shaped bone that forms the lower jaw.
The mandible is the bone that forms the lower jaw. This the largest and only freely-movable bone of the face.
Either of a pair of jaw-like parts, found in insects and crustaceans used for biting or cutting food.
Latin mandere = to chew; hence, the movable lower jaw; adjective - mandibular.
Lower jaw, formed by paired dentary bones.
the jaw Seed eating birds such as the cardinal have strong mandibles.
The lower jaw bone. Mandibular.
( mandibles, pl.): Jaw; one of the paired mouth parts that chews or crushes food.
another term for the lower jaw
(L. mandibula, a jaw). The jaw bone.
The lower jaw. ‘Mandibular’ is a derivative of this word.
the lower jaw of the fish that does not include the kype. The kype is found at the end of the lower jaw of spawning males.
horseshoe-shaped bone forming the lower jaw
the main biting or crushing mouthparts in a lobster
most anterodorsally situated of gnathal appendages. one, of a pair, of heavily calcified jaws. the "teeth".
The lower jaw. (see head)
lower jaw of the pig; the movable facial bone involved in chewing
The lower jaw, composed of the two dentaries in mammals.

In vertebrates, the lower jaw, in invertebrates, the various mouth parts which hold or bite food.
One of a pair of hardened mouthparts found in insects, crustaceans, millipedes, and centipedes. The mandibles lie in front of the maxillae and their movements help in biting and crushing food. The lower jaw of vertebrates. Either of the two parts of a bird's beak. One of a pair of hardened mouthparts, modified from the third segment, found in insects, crustaceans, millipedes, and centipedes. The mandibles lie in front of the maxillae and their movements help in biting and crushing food. Synapomorphy of the Crustacea+Myriopoda+Insecta. The lower jaw of vertebrates. Either of the two parts of a bird's beak.
Known as the lower jaw bone. Also forms the chin and sides of the face. (Largest, strongest facial bone.) Bone into which the lower teeth are attached. The only moveable facial bone; motion of this bone is necessary for chewing food (the first stage of the digestion process). Each side of the mandible has a condyle and a coronoid process. The condyle articulates with the temporal bone to form the temporomandibular joint.
The lower jaw. A bilateral-joined bone divided into a horizontal component (the body) and a vertical component (the ramus). It joins at the chin, (the sympasis), and hinges with the temporal bone, called the temporomandibular joint (jaw joint). There is a disc or meniscus (cartilage) that interfaces between the bones of this joint, which serves as a buffer or cushion between the two bones.
The jaw of an insect. In male stag beetles they are very large and look like antlers, hence the name "stag beetle".
another word for the jawbone, this is the large bone that forms the jaw, contains the lower teeth, and is the only moveable bone in the skull.
The lower arch (lower jaw).
Refers to the lower jaw of a fish.
Maxilla and mandible are found as mesodermal masses on either side of the mouth. Nerve V, the trigeminal, branches to the maxilla, the mandible, and has a sensory branch to the eye muscles. Extending into the mandibular process as they leave the ventral aorta are the external carotids. The mandibular and maxillary processes (with the mouth between) are the first visceral arch.
Mouthpart (jaw) on the head of the larva and some adult insects.
U-shaped bone forming the lower jaw
the bone forming the lower jaw; the largest and strongest bone of the face, presenting a body and a pair of rami, which articulate with the skull at the tempromandibular joints.
This is the scientific name for the lower jaw.
Pertaining to your lower jaw.
The mandible is the the bone of the lower jaw. The joint where the mandible meets the upper jaw at the temporal bone is called the temporomandibular joint.
Insect mandibles are a pair of appendages near the insect’s mouth, and the most anterior of the three pairs of oral appendages (the labrum is more anterior, but is a single fused structure). Their function is typically to grasp, crush, or cut the insect’s food, or to defend against predators or rivals. These mandibles move in the horizontal plan unlike those of the vertebrates.
