How are ants jaw different from humans?

Ant jaws (mandibles) are both movable joints and move horizontally together to grab, dig, and cut, in addition to handling food. The mandibles move food to the ant's mouth, located behind them. Human jaws include the upper jaw (maxilla) which is fixed to the skull, and the lower jaw (mandible) which moves up and down, and slightly sideways, to grab, cut, and chew food. Ants do not have true teeth, which in humans consist of 16 pairs (more or less), half on the upper jaw and half on the lower jaw, all inside the mouth. Some teeth (molars) are specialized for grinding food.


What ants use their jaws for?

They are like human jaws in that they are used for biting. They differ in practically every other way. Ants (like other typical insects) have four jaws each (two mandibles, two maxillae); the jaws are not made of bone inside and flesh outside, but flesh inside and the hard part (a sort of concrete of sclerotin and chitin) outside. Ant jaws don't have separate teeth, but have serrations (saw-like pointy bits). Their jaws work from side to side instead of up and down. Their jaws are smaller in absolute terms because ants are smaller than humans, but usually larger in relative terms (a human with jaws like a bulldog ant would look like a crocodile). It is not easy to think of ways in which they are alike.
