part of: skull
part: lower_jaw__lowerjaw__mandible__mandibula__submaxilla__lower_jawbone__lowerjawbone__jawbone__jowl the lower jawbone in vertebrates; it is hinged to open the mouth
part: gnathion the most inferior point of the mandible in the midline
part: gonion the craniometric point on either side at the apex of the lower jaw
part: mandibular_notch small indentation in the middle of the lower jawbone
part: pogonion the craniometric point that is the most forward-projecting point on the anterior surface of the chin
part: symphysion the most forward point of the alveolar process of the mandible
part: condylar_process__condyloid_process__condyloidproces__mandibular_condyle the condyle of the ramus of the mandible that articulates with the skull
part: coronoid_process_of_the_mandible the coronoid process that provides an attachment for the temporal muscle
part: coronion the craniometric point at the tip of the coronoid process of the mandible
part: upper_jaw__upperjaw__upper_jawbone__upperjawbone__maxilla the upper jawbone in vertebrates ; it is fused to the cranium
part: hard_palate the bony part of the roof of the mouth
part: intermaxillary_suture__sutura_intermaxillaris the suture between the two maxillae of the upper jawbone
part: alveolar_arch the part of the upper or lower jawbones in which the teeth are set
part: alveolar_ridge__gum_ridge__gumridge__alveolar_process a ridge that forms the borders of the upper and lower jaws and contains the sockets of the teeth
part: tooth_socket__toothsocket__alveolus a bony socket in the alveolar ridge that holds a tooth
part: alveolar_artery__arteria_alveolaris a branch of the maxillary artery that supplies the alveolar process
