Medical - Livestock / Animal Husbandry / Equine Anatomy | | German term or phrase: Unterkieferast | After consulting a number of books on equine anatomy, there still is no clear answer to the question: What exactly is the English term for *Unterkieferast*?
Of course it is a part of the mandible, it's the front part of the mandible and we—as well as the horse—have 2 of those wonderful Unterkieferäste.
Here one of my sentences:
Neben der Form spielt die Lage der *Unterkieferäste* zueinander eine letzte bestimmende Rolle für die Wahl des Gebisses.
Thank you! |

34 mins confidence:   peer agreement (net): +3 mandibular ramus
Explanation:
I think it is the ascending part - the front part is the mandibular body, see http://books.google.de/books?id=4-gYLutJOB8C&pg=PA57&lpg=PA5...
