|
Definition
-corpus (body) of mandible = horizontal part of bone
-angle of mandible = point where mandible turns upward
-ramus of mandible = vertical part of bone

Definition
-forms most of bony portion of roof of mouth (alveolar ridge & most of hard palate)
-forms antero-lateral aspect of nasal cavity and base of eye socket (orbit)
-contains maxillary sinus (air pocket)
-if not properly fused during development --> cleft palate & lip |
