Where rotation in the legislative branch has withstood court challenges, term limits continue to garner popular support. As of 2002, the advocacy group  U.S. Term Limits  found that in the 17 states where state legislators served in rotation, public support for term limits ranged from 60 to 78 percent.erm limits in the United States apply to many offices at both the federal and state level, and date back to the American Revolution.
Mandible. The mandible, or lower jaw, is the bone that forms the lower part of the skull, and along with the maxilla (upper jaw), forms the mouth structure. Movement of the lower jaw opens and closes the mouth and also allows for the chewing of food.The lower set of teeth in the mouth is rooted in the lower jaw.he mandible, or lower jaw, is the bone that forms the lower part of the skull, and along with the maxilla (upper jaw), forms the mouth structure.
(Hint: itâs not just about smelling). Figure 1. Illustration of the externally visible landmarks which were digitized: the right tip of the tongue, the left tip of the tongue, the point of bifurcation of the fork, the midtongue, and the posteriormost visible point of the tongue. It has long been thought that snakes flick their tongues in order to âsmellâ their environments. However, is this the only reason for the seemingly-constant snake tonguing? To see what else snakes might be up to with all that lingual action, these biologists recorded snake tongues with four high-speed video cameras and reconstructed a 3D model of the tongue in motion. This detailed investigation revealed that the snakes actually perform two types of tongue flick: one for smelling things in the air, and another that seems optimized for tasting objects on the ground. The function of oscillatory tongue-flicks in snakes: insights from kinematics of tongue-flicking in the banded water snake (Nerodia fasciata).
