Why can you move your lower jaw and not upper jaw?
Because your upper jaw is part of your skull which is connected to your spine and your lower jaw is connected to your upper jaw by a hinge type joint that allows you to move your lower jaw so that we can eat. So therefore we cannot move our upper jaw because that would require moving our head which would move our lower jaw too.
