mandibular canal
Canalis mandibulae latin

A fatty pad on the mandibular canal suggests that eomysticetids could hear underwater.

The mandibular canal, with the mental foramen opening from it, is closer to the alveolar border.

The best known of them, still preserved, is a mandible of a cave bear with three holes in the mandibular canal.

With age and tooth loss, the alveolar process is absorbed so that the mandibular canal becomes nearer the superior border.

When placed in the mandibular canal with the inferior alveolar nerve exposed there have been reports of neurotoxic effects.

The mental foramen allows the entrance of the mental nerve and blood vessels into the mandibular canal.

The mandibular canal is fairly close to the apices of the second molar in 50% of the radiographs.

A densely ossified auditory bulla and large mandibular canal indicate it was adapted for hearing in water.

Furthermore, the most important factor for inferior alveolar nerve injury prediction is the proximity of the root tips to the mandibular canal.

The mandibular canal is large and laterally flanked by a thin bony wall, the pan bone or acoustic fenestra.

The post-mandibular foramen is large and the opening of the mandibular canal is within the posterointernal ramal fossa.

The mental foramen opens midway between the upper and lower borders of the bone, and the mandibular canal runs nearly parallel with the mylohyoid line.

Although superficially similar to thalassotherian chaeomysticetes, their large mandibular canal indicates that they were incapable of lunge-feeding as in modern-day balaenopterids.

Upon its discovery, Himalayacetus was described as a pakicetid because the dentary has a small mandibular canal and a dentition similar to Pakicetus.

The mandibular canal, after the second dentition, is situated just above the level of the mylohyoid line; and the mental foramen occupies the position usual to it in the adult.

It runs along the mandibular canal in the substance of the bone, accompanied by the nerve, and opposite the first premolar tooth divides into two branches, incisor and mental.

Sometimes with excessive alveolar process absorption, the mandibular canal disappears entirely and leaves the inferior alveolar nerve without its bony protection, although it is still covered by soft tissue.

The mandibular canal is of large size and runs near the lower border of the bone; the mental foramen opens beneath the socket of the first deciduous molar tooth.

In human anatomy, the mandibular canal is a canal within the mandible that contains the inferior alveolar nerve, inferior alveolar artery, and inferior alveolar vein.

Derived traits in R. kasrani, relative to older archaeocetes such as Pakicetus, includes high-crowned cheek teeth, larger auditory bullae, larger mandibular foramen, and mandibular canals.

Inferior alveolar nerve, branch of the mandibular division of Trigeminal (V) nerve, enters the mandibular foramen and runs forward in the mandibular canal, supplying sensation to the teeth.

The mandibular canal runs obliquely downward and forward in the ramus, and then horizontally forward in the body, where it is placed under the alveoli and communicates with them by small openings.

Based on the enlarged temporal fossae and enlarged mandibular canal, Tokarahia was probably incapable of lunge-feeding, although it remains unclear whether it could skim-feed or filter prey in the benthic zone.

Rarely, a bifid inferior alveolar nerve may be present, in which case a second mandibular foramen, more inferiorly placed, exists and can be detected by noting a doubled mandibular canal on a radiograph.
