Posterior border of the ramus of the mandible
The green outlines what part of the mandible?
the inferior border of the mandible

angle of the mandible
what is the arrow pointing to?
Articular eminence
condyle
glenoid fossa
Can the articular disk be visualized in a panoramic image?
No, the articular disk is not visualized in a panoramic image because it is a soft tissue structure.
