The articulation between the condylar process of the [[Skull and Facial Muscles - Anatomy & Physiology#Mandible (mandibula)|mandible]] and the mandibular process of the skull. It is a compartmentalised joint for rotational movement and lateral slide (grinding). It is a '''synovial joint'''. Caudal dislocation is prevented by a prominent retro-articular process (enlargement of the fossa).

Located at the rostral end of the [[Skull and Facial Muscles - Anatomy & Physiology#Mandible (mandibula)|mandible]]. It is a '''fibrous joint''' between the left and right halves of the [[Skull and Facial Muscles - Anatomy & Physiology#Mandible (mandibula)|mandible]]. It is only found in dogs and ruminants. It has a precise occlusion and the [[Skull and Facial Muscles - Anatomy & Physiology#Mandible (mandibula)|Mandibular]] bones can move apart independently by rotation. It stops jaw breakages (Canid).
