 Each half of the body has outer and inner surfaces,

and upper and lower borders.
 The outer surface presents the following features:
1. The symphysis menti
2. The mental protuberance
3. The mental foramen lies below the interval
between the premolar teeth.
4. The oblique line
5. The incisive fossa
