mentum

On the human face, the mentum refers to the protruding part of the chin.

The mentum, a thin projection below the mouth, is lobed in front.

The mentum is often ill-defined and has few muscle attachments.

In insects, the mentum is the distal part of the labium.

That is because there are two kinds of angular mo- mentum, in opposite senses.

Face presentations are classified according to the position of the chin (mentum):

It ripped through four warriors on the forward strike, three as he reversed the mo- mentum, swung the other way.

In certain sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks, the mentum is a thin projection of the soft parts of the animal, below the mouth.

Instead of using their mandibles to bite, they use the anterior edge of the mentum and swivel their heads to cut off pieces of food.

It may be, however, that the amount of angular mo- mentum of one kind in the universe is equal to the amount of the other kind.
