 # Growth site of the mandible is in the:
a) Body 
b) Condylar cartilage
c) Coronoid 
d) Ramus


The correct answer is B. Condylar cartilage.

The growth site of the mandible is in the condylar cartilage. The condylar cartilage is a layer of cartilage at the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) that allows for growth and movement of the mandible. As a child grows, the cartilage in the condylar process of the mandible expands and is gradually replaced by bone. This process contributes to the growth of the mandible. The other areas of the mandible, such as the body, coronoid, and ramus, are important for muscle attachment and provide support for the teeth, but they do not play a significant role in the growth of the mandible.
