Facial bones • Maxillary bones • Mandible • Palatine bones • Nasal bones • Vomer • Inferior nasal conchae • Zygomatic bones • Lacrimal bones • Hyoid

Maxillae • Largest facial bones • Form the upper jaw and most of the hard palate

Palatine and Nasal Bones • Palatine bones • Small “L” shaped bones • Form the posterior hard palate and floor of the nasal cavity • Nasal bones • Superior border of external nares

Vomer, Zygomatic and Lacrimal bones • Vomer • Inferior portion of the nasal septum • Zygomatic bone • Temporal process articulates with zygomatic process of temporal bone • Lacrimal bones • Smallest bones of the face • Sit medially in orbit

Mandible and Hyoid bones • Mandible • Bone of the lower jaw • Hyoid • Suspended by stylohyoid ligaments • Supports the larynx
