>頜就是指構成口部上下部位的骨骼、關節、肌肉等軟組織,分為上頜与下頜,內有上頜骨(maxilla)與下頜骨(mandible)。
"颌 refers to the bones, joints, muscles, etc above and below the mouth..."

 ◎ 构成口腔上部和下部的骨头与肌肉等组织:上~。下~。

In other words, the whole jaw, not just the maxilla and mandible which are bones.

Editor: Might technically be a noun, but not often used on its own.
Described as a bound form in ABC.
Diff:
- 頜 颌 [he2] /maxilla and mandible/
# + 頜 颌 [[he2]] /(anatomy) jaw/
+ 頜 颌 [[he2]] /(bound form) jaw/
