Anatomical terminology

The mandibular prominence, or mandibular process is an embryological structure which gives rise to the lower portion of the face.

The mandible and lower lip derive from it. [1] The mesenchymal cells within the mandibular prominence condense to form Meckel's cartilage. [2]

It is innervated by the mandibular nerve. [3]
