Best Answer

Orbital Complex has 7 bones that form the bony orbit that encases the eye:

Frontal, Maxilla, Lacrimal, Ethmoid, Palatine, Sphenoid & Zygomatic bones.

Where in the eye is the orbital bone located?

the eye lies in the orbital cavity, a fossa made up of many bones of the skull! there is no orbital bone in the eye.


Bones thar form the boundaries of the orbital cavity?

Roof-Orbital surface of Frontal Bone Lateral wall-Orbital surface of Zygomatic bone Floor-Orbital surface of maxilla Medial wall-Lacrimal bone/Orbital surface of Ethmoid Bone Posterior wall-Orbital surface of greater/lesser wings of Sphenoid bone


Can you name the 7 bones of the orbital cavity?

Frontal, sphenoid, zygomatic, ethmoid, lacrimal, maxilla, and palatine.


If there are 8 cranial bones and 14 facial bones and there are 28 bones in all and 8 1422 then what are the other six bones?

You have a malleus, incus and stapes in each ear which makes up your 6 but also the hyoid bone (around the top of your throat, holds the larynx and other structures in place) is usually counted in with these bones making 29 in all Who said there are 28 cranial / facial bones? The cranial facial complex is composed of 22 bones. The other bones hyoid, malleus, incus, stapes etc. are not considered part of the cranial facial complex.


Name the bones that compose the orbit of the eye?

The bones that form the orbit of the eye are the ethmoid, lacrimal, maxilla, frontal, sphenoid, zygoma, palatine The orbits are pyramidal, bony cavities in the facial skeleton with their bases (orbital openings) directed anterolaterally and their apices, posteromedially. The orbits contain and protect the eyeballs and their muscles, nerves, and vessels, together with most of the lacrimal apparatus. All space in the orbits not occupied by structures is filled with orbital fat. The fat forms a matrix in which the structures of the orbit are embedded. The orbit has a base, four walls, and an apex: The superior wall (roof) is approximately horizontal and is formed mainly by the orbital part of the frontal bone, which separates the orbital cavity from the anterior cranial fossa. Near the apex of the orbit, the superior wall is formed by the lesser wing of the sphenoid. Anterolaterally the lacrimal gland occupies the fossa for the lacrimal gland (lacrimal fossa) in the orbital part of the frontal bone. The medial wall is formed by the ethmoid bone, along with contributions from the frontal, lacrimal, and sphenoid bones. Anteriorly, the medial wall is indented by the lacrimal groove and fossa for the lacrimal sac. The bone forming the medial wall is paper thin, and the ethmoid air cells are often visible through the bone of a dried cranium. The lateral wall is formed by the frontal process of the zygomatic bone and the greater wing of the sphenoid. This is the strongest and thickest wall, which is important because it is most exposed and vulnerable to direct trauma. Its posterior part separates the orbit from the temporal lobes of the brain and middle cranial fossae. The inferior wall (floor) is formed mainly by the maxilla and partly by the zygomatic and palatine bones. The thin inferior wall is shared by the orbit superiorly and the maxillary sinus inferiorly. It slants inferiorly from the apex to the inferior orbital margin. The inferior wall is demarcated from the lateral wall by the inferior orbital fissure. The apex of the orbit is at the optic canal in the lesser wing of the sphenoid, just medial to the superior orbital fissure. The bones forming the orbit are lined with periorbita (periosteum of the orbit). The periorbita is continuous at the optic canal and superior orbital fissure with the periosteal layer of dura mater. The periorbita is also continuous over the orbital margins and through the inferior orbital fissure with the periosteum covering the external surface of the cranium (pericranium) and with the orbital septa at the orbital margins, with the fascial sheaths of the extraocular muscles, and with orbital fascia that forms the fascial sheath of the eyeball.
