What is another word for coronoid process of the mandible?
Pronunciation: [kˈɒɹənˌɔ͡ɪd pɹˈə͡ʊsɛs ɒvðə mˈandəbə͡l] (IPA) 
The coronoid process of the mandible, also known as the coronoid eminence, is a bony projection that arises from the anterior surface of the ramus of the mandible. It serves as an attachment site for the temporalis muscle, which is one of the muscles responsible for chewing. Other synonyms for this structure include the coronoid apophysis and the coronoid tubercle. Despite the different terms used to describe this feature, its function remains the same. An injury to the coronoid process, whether it is a fracture or a dislocation, can result in difficulties with jaw movement and require specialized treatment to ensure proper healing.
