Answer:

What is temporal bone

Step-by-step explanation:

The mandibular fossa of the temporal bone is a depression that articulates with the mandible; they form the temporomandibular joint. This allows for the opening and closing of the jaw. The temporal fossa is a depression in the temporal region. It is one of the largest landmarks of the skull.
