对凯曼鳄头面部的功能形态进行了研究。描述了颅骨、下颌骨、软骨结构和颌骨肌肉的解剖结构。肌肉造影术实验、X光研究和对行为的观察，让我们深入了解了食物摄入过程中的动作顺序。已有证据表明，附着在下颌骨内侧的过渡软骨被用来阻挡彼此相对的颌骨。对于每个摄取食物的动作，计算出抵抗肌肉力量所需的材料量。综合这些数字，再加上对压力线的考虑，形成了一个下颌骨的范例。
A functional morphological study on the cranio-facial region of Caiman crocodilus was carried out. The anatomy of the skull, mandible, cartilaginous structures and the muscles of the jaw was described. Myography experiments, an X-ray study and observations of behaviour gave insight into the sequence of actions during food-intake. Evidence has been obtained that the cartilago transiliens, attached to the medial side of the mandible, is used to block the jaws relative to each other. For each food-intake action, the amount of material necessary to resist muscle force was calculated. Integration of these figures, together with a consideration on the lines of stress, resulted in a paradigm for the mandible.
