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
