Mandible Essays

The tip of the sloth mandible is a spout- shaped and there on the side of the jaw is a foramen. They have a single set of crowned, open rooted teeth. The forelimb is equal in length to the hind limb. Most sloths have hands and hand claws that appear well suited for the manipulation of foliage and the robust tail seen in most fossil sloths suggests that they may have sat in a tripodal posture when eating. The phalanges are not separately mobile, being bound by ligaments, so the claws from one functional

The most common scenario is one where the couple in question has been in a long-term relationship for a substantial period of time and decides to take on an additional third, fourth, or fifth significant other who plays more of a supporting role in the relationship. Like polyamory, there may be a set of predefined rules to be followed in any open relationship. However, as previously discussed, labelling a relationship as “open” generalizes it by looping it in with other consensual non-monogamous

Three dinosaurs with facts and why they went extinct 1: Kaprosuchus aprosuchus is an extinct genus of mahajangasuchid crocodyliform. It is known from a single nearly complete skull collected from the Upper Cretaceous Echkar Formation of Niger. The name means "boar crocodile" from the Greek κάπρος, kapros ("boar") and σοῦχος, souchos ("crocodile") in reference to its unusually large caniniform teeth which resemble those of a boar. Kaprosuchus is known from a nearly complete skull 507 mm in length

wants to see beautiful princess Bala, who has the similar problem as Z that feels insignificant. They send Z to war, but fortunely he is the only one alive while others die. He did not know that he actually saves the colony from an ambitious general Mandible who wants to destroy the colony. The colony is saved from the hand of general who lead them with hard military to a democratic state. Z is an individual living in a society who values conformity and strength. He dreams of a better place like “Insectopia”

The movie ANTZ shows different political beliefs of many people including General Mandible. General Mandible presents many ideas which show his strong support for fascism. Mandible values the state more than its people, uses force to control citizens, and focuses on wars and militarism which are characteristics on running a fascist society. Firstly, General believes the value of state as a whole is more than the people in the state which is why he tries to kill the “unworthy” members so overall

By Jonas Wilson, Ing. Med. Mandibular Fractures Fractures may occur easily in the mandible owing to its anatomical properties and this bone may account for as many as 70% of fractures occurring in the maxillofacial region. It is fairly prominent on the face and its support is not as strong when compared to other facial bones. Mandibular fractures are common in young men for a variety of reasons with the most obvious being due to physical altercations. Factors that tend be positively correlated

fractures of craniomaxillofacial skeleton into 4 anatomical units: mandible, midface, skull base, and cranial vault . Some high-energy trauma may result in panfacial fractures. Mandibular fractures: Among all the maxillofacial fractures, the most common is the mandibular fracture; and the

clinical problems because of the specificity of this anatomical region.1 Mandible in its vulnerable position and anatomic configuration is one of the most frequent facial bones to be involved in traumatic injuries with resultant fracture even though, it is considered the strongest and most rigid bone in the facial skeleton2 Weakest region of the mandible to fracture is the angle. Approximately 50% of fractures of the mandible involve areas with teeth and are the most important factor in determining

The mouthparts consist of a tongue and other complicated organs that collect nectar from flowers. The mandibles of the worker bee differs from the queen and her drones. The queen and drones have pointed mandibles that aid in cutting and biting, but worker bees' mandibles are smoothed to make their production of wax from their mouth an easy task. Proboscis The proboscis is another name for the tongue of a bee. It is similar to humans

What do teeth mean to you? Have you ever thought about teeth outside the clinical context? Renowned paleoanthropologist Tim D. White recently unearthed a Neanderthal’s mandible in Spy cave, Belgium. The mandible’s left condyle was broken at the neck, and some cracks were present in the body of the mandible but was otherwise intact. All the dentition was present except the left lateral incisor and canine, with the developing third molars confirmed through radiography. This was fortunate as, to no

further refined by defining those contacts between the teeth when the mandible is closed and stationary as the static occlusion, and those contacts between teeth when the mandible is moving relative to the maxilla as the dynamic occlusion. [1] • there are few terms in occlusion which needs to be explained in ordr to understand occlusion in detail. • Static Occlusion: static occlusion is the contact of upper and lower dentition when mandible is not moving. • Centric occlusion (CO): can be described as the

Their realization came to an abrupt end when General Mandible opposed their recent belief. This showed that General Mandible was really manipulating and exploiting the whole ant colony. All ants, whether workers or soldiers, live up to the orders of Mandible. This is a sign of Marxism; coercing the people to follow a certain ideology. Only Z used free will and made a difference in his worker life. Marx defined

Mental foramen is one of the most important and studied foramen’s of the mandible. The mandibular foramen is an opening seen on the medial ( internal ) aspect of the mandible which leads into a funnel like mandibular canal,that opens at the mental foramen on the anterolateral surface of the mandible. The mandibular nerve passes through this canal, travels obliquely forward and takes a turn from the incisal region to reach the mental foramen and exit as inferior alveolar nerve and vessels. It is this

extending from the posterior border of the mandible upto tragus of the right ear, while the overlying skin was devoid of any secondary changes. (Figure 1 & Figure 2). The lateral oblique radiograph of the jaw revealed a unilocular radiolucent lesion extending from the distal surface of the first permanent mandibular molar, involving almost entire ramus encapsulating an unerupted tooth within the (Figure 3) ,with intact lower/inferior border of the mandible . As there was no cystic fluid available

affecting young infants less than 6 months of age. It is characterized by a triad of soft tissue swelling, cortical thickening of the underlying bone and hyperirritability. The mean age of presentation is 9-11 weeks of age. It typically involves the mandible, clavicles, ribs and diaphysis of the long bones. We report a case of Caffey's disease presenting at an early age of 6 weeks, affecting long bones, with symmetrical involvement of ulnar bones, and thrombocytosis an uncommon presentation. On follow

15). The orangutan mandible was necessary to the Piltdown skull as it offered the prognathic features of an ape, while the human skull provided the link to large modern human cranial size. Throughout the Piltdown affair, Martin Hinton, a zoologist and paleontologist, worked

Variations in the onset and duration of the pubertal growth spurt may affect the final size of different craniofacial structures.9,30 Longitudinal studies have shown that growth changes during adolescent growth spurt are more pronounced in the mandible as compared to the maxilla.9,31,32 The current study reports that the onset of pubertal growth peak occurs around four months earlier in girls as compared to boys but there was no significant difference in the overall duration of the pubertal growth

Introduction Among all the animals living on earth, insects are the most diverse. They are found in all habitats such as deserts, forests, swamps and even the pools of crude petroleum (Imms, 1964).The number of insects exceeds all other animals and this due to the undeniable fact that they are able to adapt themselves to any kind of environment. The evolution of flight in insect is regarded as the significant breakthrough in the history of Earth. They were the first to dominate the air even before

The term irreducibly complex was invented by a biochemist Michael Behe to explain that highly complex biological systems need all their individual parts to function properly. They could not have been developed through natural processes. It is quite difficult for such a system to work at all with the loss of any individual parts. The term becomes well known to application in biological systems, but seems to refute Darwin’s theory of evolution. For example, many biochemical pathways involve enzymes

Cordyceps, the Zombie Spore The members of the Ophiocordyceps genus are a species of fungi that have evolved a very special means of spreading their reproductive spores. By exposing insects to the spores of Ophiocordyceps, the fungus infects brain tissue and can essentially take control of the insect’s body, making it a “zombie” that can further spread the spores. Specifically, the fungus spread in the insect’s body and presumably produce compounds that affect the insect’s brain, utilizing the evolutionary
