mandible condylar process

Articular part of the mandible bone. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the mandible condylar process is

Articular part of the mandible bone. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the mandible condylar process is

It sits in the head, within the skeletal and digestive systems. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the mandible condylar process connects to

The atlas records 9 typed relationships for it, across 6 kinds of connection. part of mandible, mandibular ramus and skeletal element.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the mandible condylar process. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as condylar process of mandible, condyle of the mandible, mandibular condyle, processus condylaris, processus condylaris mandibulae and condyle of mandible, and 2 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the mandible condylar process?

It sits in the head, within the skeletal and digestive systems. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the mandible condylar process connect to?

Part of: mandible, mandibular ramus and skeletal element.

Is the mandible condylar process the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
