Facial Bones
Facial bones provide structure and support to the face. Essential facial bones include the mandible (jawbone), maxilla (upper jaw), and zygomatic bones (cheekbones). They contribute to facial shape and protect vital sensory organs like the eyes and nose.
Nasal Bones
The nasal bones form the bridge of the nose, providing support and protection for the nasal passages.
Maxilla
The maxilla forms the upper jaw and plays a role in facial structure, holding the upper teeth and providing support to the nasal cavity and eye sockets.
Mandible
The mandible, or lower jawbone, is the largest and strongest facial bone, responsible for supporting the lower teeth and facilitating chewing and speaking.
Zygomatic Bones
The zygomatic bones, commonly known as the cheekbones, form the prominence of the cheeks and contribute to the structure of the eye sockets.
Lacrimal Bones
The lacrimal bones are the smallest bones in the skull and are located in the inner corners of the eye sockets, playing a role in tear production.
Palatine Bones
The palatine bones form the posterior part of the hard palate, helping to separate the oral and nasal cavities.
Vomer
The vomer is a small, thin bone that forms the inferior portion of the nasal septum, helping to divide the nasal cavity into left and right sides.
Inferior Nasal Conchae
The inferior nasal conchae are delicate bones that project from the lateral walls of the nasal cavity, helping to increase the surface area and improve airflow within the nasal passages.
Teeth
Teeth are not technically considered part of the facial bones, but they are vital components of the oral cavity. They are composed primarily of dentin and enamel and help in biting, chewing, and speech. Teeth are anchored to the jawbones (maxilla and mandible) through roots, forming a part of the overall skull structure.
