1. Facial Skeleton Maxillae (2) Form the upper jaw
Portions comprise the anterior (???) roof of the mouth (“hard palate”), the floors of the orbits (???), and the sides and floor of the nasal cavity.
Contain sockets of the upper teeth
“Maxillary sinuses”
Inside the maxillae, lateral (???) to nasal cavity
The largest of the sinuses

2. Facial Bones, continued….
Maxillae, continued….
“Palatine processes” fuse midline (???) to form anterior section of hard palate
Teeth are found in cavities in the “alveolar arch” (aka “dental arch”) formed by the “alveolar processes” projecting downward from the inferior (???) border of the maxillae.

3. Facial Bones, continued….
Palatine bones
Behind the maxillae
Horizontal portions form posterior (???) section of hard palate and floor of nasal cavity
Perpendicular portions help form lateral (???) walls of nasal cavity

4. Facial Bones, continued…..
Zygomatic bones (“???”)
Also help form lateral walls and floors of the orbits
Each bone has a “temporal process” that connects to the zygomatic process (forming the zygomatic arch).
Lacrimal bones
Thin, scale-like structure in medial wall (??) of each orbit between ethmoid bone and maxilla

5. Facial Bones, continued…..
Nasal bones
Long, thin, and nearly rectangular
Lie side by side and fused at midline to form bridge of nose
Vomer bone
Thin and flat
Along midline in nasal cavity
Joins perpendicular plate of ethmoid bone posteriorly (???) to form nasal septum

6. Facial Bones, continued…..
Inferior nasal conchae
Fragile, scroll-shaped bones attached to lateral walls (???) of nasal cavity
Support mucous membranes in nasal cavity
Mandible (“???”)
Upward projection at ends:
Posterior “mandibular condyle” articulates with mandibular fossae on _______ bone
Anterior “coronoid process” provides attachments for muscles for chewing
“Alveolar arch” – curved, superior (???) border that contains sockets for lower teeth
