Mandibular Canal
The canalis mandibulae (from Latin canna "tube" and mandibula , from mandere "chew") (mandibular canal) is a canal in the body of the lower jaw that begins at the mandibular foramen and ends at the mental foramen . It does not normally touch the roots of the teeth , but can be surrounded by them in the distal area.
The inferior alveolar vein and artery and the inferior alveolar nerve run in it (from the mandibular nerve , 3rd branch of the trigeminal nerve ).
