What pattern curve does the mandible follow?

  1. General

  2. Specific

  3. Neural

  4. Sigmoidal

The correct answer is: General

The mandible is the lower jawbone and is a bone that, like many other bones in the human body, follows a general pattern curve. This is because the human body is symmetrical and follows a consistent pattern in the formation of bones. Specific, neural, and sigmoidal are incorrect options because they do not accurately describe the shape or formation of the mandible. Specific implies a unique or individual shape, while neural refers to the nervous system and sigmoidal refers to an S-shaped curve, neither of which apply to the mandible. Overall, the mandible follows a general pattern curve due to its placement and function within the human body.
