Measurements of the mandible (medial view) of local Mizo pig showing mandibular height (D), distance from mandibular foramen to base of mandible (E), caudal margin of mandible to below mandibular foramen (F),
condyloid fossa to the base of the mandible (G), caudal margin of mandible to the level of mandibular foramen (H), mandibular foramen (mf).
Measurements are classified as belonging to the alveolar process (A) and its subdivisions, the incisor (In) or molar (Mo) alveolus, or to the ascending ramus (M) and its subdivisions, the coronoid process (Cr), the
condyloid process (Cn), the angular process (Ag), or the masseteric region (Ms).
Consideration of 180 cases of typical fracture of the mandibular
condyloid process.
It is a double
condyloid joint with 20[degrees] of freedom of motion.
Description--The left lower jaw (TERA-154; Table 1) is missing the anterior portion of the ascending ramus, coronoid process, and
condyloid process (Figs.
Measurements of Ludington, Michigan, Castoroides canadensis Right Dentary Length of tooth row 74 mm Greatest length of lower molar II 18 mm Greatest length of lower molar III 16 mm Greatest length of mandibular symphasis 75 mm Greatest length, tip of jaw through
condyloid process 202 mm Greatest length of alveolus I 22 mm Greatest length of alveolus IV 22 mm Greatest width of alveolus I 26 mm Greatest width of alveolus IV 18 mm
The maximum height of mandible to the
condyloid fossa and
condyloid fossa to base of the mandible were 3.09 [+ or -] 0.008 and 7.57 [+ or -] 0.024 cm respectively.
