How many bones do you have in your jaw?
You have one bone called the mandible in the lower jaw. The maxilla is one of two identical bones that form the upper jaw.The maxillae (2 bones) meet in the midline of the face and often are considered as one bone. They have been described as the architectural key of the face because all bones of the face except the mandible touch them.Together the maxillae form the floor of the orbit for each eye, the sides and lower walls of the nasal cavities, and the hard palate. The lower border of the maxilla supports the upper teeth. Each maxilla contains an air space called the maxillary sinus.

maxilla surrounds a number of bones in the face serving as a central anchor so to speak and it breaking results in damage to those other bones. the femur is less attached to as many bones.
What are the characteristics of face?
The orbicularis oculi is a muscle in the face that closes the eyelids. It arises from the nasal part of the frontal bone, from the frontal process of the maxilla in front of the lacrimal groove, and from the anterior surface and borders of a short fibrous band, the medial palpebral ligament.kantot
Is the nose inferior to the chin?
This is vague... is the chin the most inferior part of your face? Yes. Is the chin the only part of your face (or bone of your face) inferior to your nose? NO. Beneath the nasal bones (2) you have the nasal septum, the maxilla (that holds your upper teeth, the mandible holds your lower teethe and is your lower jaw, and then the point of your chin, which is called the mental protuberance. The chin is part of the mandible, not a separate bone.
