The correct Answer is:
To determine which part the lower jaw of a rabbit articulates with, we need to analyze the options provided: 1. **Understanding the Anatomy**: The lower jaw of a rabbit is known as the mandible, which consists of a horizontal body and two vertical rami. The upper part of the mandible has a surface that articulates with the skull. 2. **Identifying the Articulating Surface**: The specific part of the mandible that connects to the skull is called the condyle. This condylar process fits into a corresponding cavity in the skull. 3. **Identifying the Correct Option**: - **(a) Jugal**: This refers to the cheekbone, which does not articulate with the lower jaw. - **(b) Alisphenoid**: This bone is part of the skull but does not directly articulate with the lower jaw. - **(c) Squamosal**: This bone has a glenoid cavity that the condyle of the mandible fits into, making it the correct answer. - **(d) Parietal**: This is a cranial bone that does not articulate with the mandible. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the lower jaw of the rabbit articulates with the **squamosal bone**. Thus, the correct answer is **(c) Squamosal**. ---
