In jawed vertebrates, the mandible (from the Latin mandibula, 'for chewing'), lower jaw, or jawbone is a bone that makes up the lowerand typically more mobilecomponent of the mouth (the upper jaw being known as the maxilla).
The mandible is the lower jawbone in animals with jaws, and it's the part of your mouth that typically moves when you chew. It matters because it's essential for eating and speaking, forming the mobile lower portion of the mouth while the upper jaw (maxilla) stays relatively fixed.
