What bones helps chew the food?

The bones that help chew food are the bones of the jaw. These include:

* Mandible (lower jaw): This is the largest and strongest bone in the face. It moves up and down and side to side, allowing you to grind and crush food between your teeth.

* Maxilla (upper jaw): This bone forms the upper part of the jaw and holds the upper teeth. It is fixed and does not move during chewing.

While these bones don't directly chew the food, they provide the framework and movement necessary for the teeth to do their job.

It's important to note that the teeth themselves are also crucial for chewing. They are not bones but are made of a harder substance called dentin.
