Study Notes

Angular Process of the Mandible

The angular process is a part of the condylar process in the mandible bone
In bovines, the angular process is large and separate from the condylar process
In pigs, the angular process is short and fused with the condylar process

Heterotropic Bones

Heterotropic bones are bones that develop from a different type of tissue than the surrounding bones
Examples of heterotropic bones include the os penis, os clitoridis, os cordis, and os kymina
These bones are found in some mammals, but not in ruminants

Hyoid Apparatus

The hyoid apparatus consists of the stylohyoid bone, epihyoid bone, and basihyoid bone
In ruminants, the basihyoid bone is absent or fused with the stylohyoid bone
In pigs, the ligamentum episthyoidea is not ossified
