Mandibular symphysis

Quality 0.00 · 0 views · Updated 28 days ago

In human anatomy, on the facial skeleton of the skull, the external surface of the mandible is marked in the median line by a faint ridge, indicating the mandibular symphysis (Latin: symphysis menti) or line of junction where the two lateral halves of the mandible typically fuse in the first year of life (6–9 months after birth). It is not a true symphysis as there is no cartilage between the two sides of the mandible.
