Where is the coronoid process located?

The coronoid process is located on the mandible (lower jawbone) and serves as a point of attachment for the temporalis muscle, which is involved in chewing. It is situated on the anterior portion of the ramus of the mandible, just above the angle of the jaw. In addition, the term "coronoid process" can also refer to a bony prominence on the ulna in the forearm, which provides attachment for muscles and ligaments.
