The chin is the lowermost part of the face, located below the mouth and formed by the mandible, or lower jawbone. It plays a crucial role in human anatomy, contributing to facial structure and aesthetics. The chin also houses the mental protuberance, which gives it a distinct shape. In addition to its structural importance, the chin is involved in various functions, such as chewing and speaking. It is often a focal point in expressions and can vary significantly in shape and size among individuals, influenced by genetics and other factors.
