How to use "Jaw" in context?
The jaw is one of the most important body parts. It is the system of teeth and bones that provides chewing and talking abilities. The jaw bones are held in place by dentition, which are the teeth. The jaw connects the skull to the spine. The skull is the pivot point of the neck, so a good jaw can give you a strong neck and protect your brain.
The jaw is also responsible for biting and grinding down food to extract its nutrients. The teeth in the jaw are constantly evolving and adapting to change the shape of the food.
