The splenial also curves medially, and as stated, meets the dentary in a straight suture.
The dentary meets the splenialdorsally in a straight suture.
The splenial fits into a posteriorly directed, deep V-shaped notch on the ventral surface.
These are the articular, angular, dentary, andsplenial (coronoid).
The teeth are usually of large plates of dentine covered with enamel, and are present on the pterygo-palatine and splenial bones.
In the Uronemidae the upper dentition comprises a cluster of small, blunt, conical denticles on the palatine bones; the lower dentition consists of similar denticles on the splenial bone.
The splenial membrane bone is the most important bone on the inner side of Meckel's cartilage, but other elements known as the coronoid and angular may also be added.
The nasals join the premaxillaries opposite the ninth tooth, and the splenial bones, in the lower jaw, end opposite the tenth mandibular tooth, as the figures of Mueller and Schlegel show.
The mandibular symphysis extends back to at least the fourteenth tooth, and is partly formed by the junction of the splenial bones.
Posterior to the splenial and also forming a part of the ventral surface of the mandible is the wedge-shaped angular, which lies directly beneath the fused surangular-prearticular.
Near the common suture of the dentary and the splenial is the large inferior alveolar foramen; completely within the splenial and ventral to the inferior alveolar foramen is the anterior mylohyoid foramen.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "splenial" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
