Facial bones and bones which form the orbit

hyoid bone

a bone in the neck, the only bone in the human skeleton not articulated to any other bone. supported by muscles of the neck and in turn supports the root of the tongue

maxillary bone (orbit)

the bone of the upper jaw which serves as a foundation of the face and supports the orbits

lacrimal bone (orbit)

a thin scalelike bone at the anterior part of the medial wall of the orbit, articulating with the frontal and ethmoid bones and the maxilla and inferior nasal concha

incus

anvil shaped bone between the malleus and the stapes in the middle ear

body (hyoid bone)

central part of the byoid bones quadrolateral form. its anterior surface is convex and directed forward and upward

ethmoid bone (orbit)

cubical bone located between the orbits and consisting of the lamina cribrosa, the lamina perpendicularis, and the paired lateral masses

nasal bones

either of the two small, oblong bones that together form the bridge of the nose

palatine bone

either of two irregular shaped bones that form the back of the hard palate and helps to form the nasal cavity and the floor of the orbits

Bones which form the orbit

frontal bone ethmoid bone sphenoid bone maxillary bone lacrimal bone zygomatic bone palatine

malleus

hammer shaped bone that is outmost of three small bones in the middle ear

vomer bone

inferior portion of the nasal section (bottom third)

stapes

innermost of three small bones of the middle ear shaped somewhat like a stirrup

palatine (orbit)

irregularly shaped bone forming the posterior part of the hard palate, the lateral wall of the nasal fossa between the medial pterygoid plate and the maxilla, and the posterior part of the floor of the orbit

orbital process

is a thick, strong plate, projecting backward and medialward from the orbital margin

lacrimal bones

of or relating to, or constituting the glands that produce tears

temporal process

posterior projection of the zygomatic bone articulating with the zygomatic of the temporal bone to form the zygomatic arch

greater cornu

project backward from the lateral borders of the body, flattened from above downward and diminished in size from before backward

zygomatic bones

quadrangular bone of the cheek, articulating with frontal, maxilla, zygomatic process of temporal, and the greater wing of the sphenoid bone

frontal bone (orbit)

single cone that closes the anterior part of the cranial cavity and forms the skeleton of the forehead

sphenoid bone (orbit)

single irregular, wedge-shaped bone at the base of the skull, forming part of the floor of the anterior, middle, and posterior cranial fossae

internasal suture

the line of union between the two nasal bones

zygomatic bone (orbit)

the quadrangular bone of the cheek, articulating with the frontal bone, the maxilla, zygomatic process of the temporal bone, and the greater wing of the sphenoid bone

lesser cornu

two small connical eminences, attached by their bases to the angles of junciton between the body and the greater cornua of the hyoid bone

nasolacrimal duct

(tear ducts) carries tears from the lacrimal sac into the nasal cavity
