Mandibles are specialized mouthparts used for chewing plant materials that are generally possessed by herbivorous insects, The word "Mandible also have a secondary meaning In human anatomy, the '''mandible''', '''lower jaw''' or '''jawbone''' is the largest, strongest and lowest bone in the human facial skeleton. It forms the lower jaw and holds the lower teeth in place. The mandible sits beneath the maxilla. It is the only movable bone of the skull (discounting the ossicles of the middle ear). It is connected to the temporal bones by the temporomandibular joints. In entomology this is a specialized mouthparts for chewing through plant materials such as leaves, stems and sepals these mouthparts are generally seen in [[Orthoptera|Orthopterans]], [[Caterpillar|Caterpillars]] and [[Coleoptera families|Coleopterans]]. Allowing these herbivores to break through plant tissues and turn them into simpler form that can be digesting by chewing them , these mouthparts in secondary consumers, these mouthparts are used for the same purpose. |
