One-sided dominance known as a morphological and functional asymmetry in the limbs has generally been regarded as a characteristic of man, and to a lesser degree , of higher primates. As the complicated factors are involved in this phenomenon , it has been discussed many times that whether limb dominance is inherited or acquired and also what relationship exists between the limb dominance and cerebral dominance . Recently it was demonstrated that bone weight would be a reliable and convenient index for studying limb dominance [1,5], and that there existed one-sided dominance in upper and lower limbs in man [4,5]. Moreover, asymmetry in bone weight and the presence of similar dominance in lower animals [rabbit & frog: Singh, 12; mouse: Kimura & Tanaka, 6, 13] have been reported. Therefore, in the present study, asymmetry in bone weight of rabbit not only in the limbs but also in the mandibula that are movement apparatus having different functions was investigated. Especially, the authors have examined the following two points. First, whether one-sided dominance exists or not, and second, what kind of relationship will be found between the mandibula and limbs.
