A symphysis is a fibrocartilaginous fusion between two bones. The more prominent symphyses are:

• the pubic symphysis
• the symphyses between the bones of the skull, most notably the mandible (symphysis menti)
• sacrococcygeal symphysis

mandible (from Latin mandibūla, "jawbone") or inferior maxillary bone is, together with the maxilla, the largest and strongest bone of the face . It forms the lower jaw and holds the lower teeth in place.

The mylohyoid muscle is a muscle running from the mandible to the hyoid bone, forming the floor of the oral cavity.

Structure

The mylohyoid muscle is flat and triangular, and is situated immediately above the anterior belly of the digastric muscle.

The pterygomandibular raphé (pterygomandibular ligament) is a tendinous band of the buccopharyngeal fascia, attached by one extremity to the hamulus of the medial pterygoid plate, and by the other to the posterior end of the mylohyoid line of the mandible.

Behind this groove is a rough surface, for the insertion of the Pterygoideus internus.

The maxilla (plural: maxillae) is a fusion of two bones along the palatal fissure that form the upper jaw. This is similar to the mandible, which is also a fusion of two halves at the mental symphysis.

The body of the maxilla is somewhat pyramidal in shape, and contains a large cavity, the maxillary sinus (antrum of Highmore).

It has four surfaces - an anterior, a posterior or infratemporal, a superior or orbital, and a medial or nasal.

The infratemporal surface is convex, directed backward and lateralward, and forms part of the infratemporal fossa.

It is separated from the anterior surface by the zygomatic process and by a strong ridge, extending upward from the socket of the first molar tooth.
