Facial Bones
Maxillary Bone
Also known as the mustache bone, Attaches laterally to the zygomatic bones. Forms the anterior medial and medial inferior portion of the orbit. Also articulates two of the cranium: the frontal and ethmoid seven of the face: the nasal, lacrimal, inferior nasal concha, palatine, vomer, and the adjacent fused maxillary bone.
Mandible Body
Curved horizontal portion of the mandible. created by the symphasis of two bones.
Palatine Bone
Either of two irregularly shaped bones that form the back of the hard palate and helps to form the nasal cavity and the floor of the orbits. It is situated at the back part of the nasal cavity between the maxilla and the pterygoid process of the sphenoid.
Mandible condylar process
Forms the condyle for the Temporomandibular joint; Hinge of the mandible. This process is the most posterior process on the ramus.
Infraorbital foramen
Located inferior to the orbit, near the maxilla zygomatic process, this foramen transmits the _ artery, vein, and _ nerve.
Zygomatic Bone
Paired bone, cheek bones, makes up the lateral margin of the eye socket.
Mandible coronoid process
Provides for attachment of the temporalis. This process is the most anterior process on the ramus.
Vomer Bone
Shaped like the blade of a plow, it forms part of the nasal septum along with the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid at the base of the nasal septum. Forms most of the nasal septum and is considered an unpaired bone. Articulates with the sphenoid, the ethmoid, the left and right palatine bones, and the left and right maxillary bones.
Lacrimal Bone
Small fragile bone making up part of the anterior medial walls of each orbital and providing room for the passage of the _ ducts for tears. Articulates with the frontal, ethmoid, maxilla and inferior nasal concha
Mandible rami
The perpendicular portions of the mandible, with two processes ,the coronoid and condylar
Inferior Nasal Concha
Thin curved bones protruding medially from the lateral walls of the nasal cavity; serve the same purpose as the turbinate portions of the ethmoid bone. Extends from maxilla
Nasal Bone
Two oblong bones forming the bridge of the nose. Articulations with the ethmoid, frontal, and maxilla bones.
mandible mental foramen
located on the anterior surface of the mandible and permits the passage of _ nerve and vessel.
Mandible Bone
only movable facial bone, lower jaw, supports lower teeth; includes: Mandibular condyle, Coronoid process, Alveolar arch
Temporal process of the zygomatic bone
projects posteriorly & articulates with the zygomatic process of the temporal bone forming the zygomatic arch
