"The sphenoid articulates with twelve bones: four single, the vomer, ethmoid, frontal, and occipital; and four paired, the parietal, temporal, zygomatic, and palatine."
The sphenoid bone does not directly articulate with the frontal bone, zygomatic bone, or the mandible.
The zygomatic bone articulates with the frontal bone, maxilla bone, temporal bone, and sphenoid bone in the skull. These articulations help form the structure of the face and contribute to the overall stability of the skull.
The maxillae contain the maxillary sinuses, the ethmoid and sphenoid contain the ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses, respectively. ****Maxilla is a facial bone, the three cranial bones that contain sinuses are ethmoid, sphenoid and frontal.
The exterior cranial bones are the two frontal bones (fused together in adulthood to constitute the forehead), the two parietal bones (the top of the head), the two temporal bones, and the occipital bone. The internal cranial bones are the ethmoid bone and the sphenoid bone. Part of the occipital bone is also included as an internal cranial bone.
The seven bones that form the orbit of the eye are the frontal bone, zygomatic bone, maxilla bone, sphenoid bone, ethmoid bone, lacrimal bone, and palatine bone. These bones create a protective cavity that houses and supports the eye.
The sphenoid bone does not directly articulate with the frontal bone, zygomatic bone, or the mandible.
The temporal bones articulate with the parietal bones superiorly, the sphenoid bone anteriorly, the occipital bone posteriorly, and the zygomatic bones laterally.
Temporal
The zygomatic bone articulates with the frontal bone, maxilla bone, temporal bone, and sphenoid bone in the skull. These articulations help form the structure of the face and contribute to the overall stability of the skull.
The maxillae contain the maxillary sinuses, the ethmoid and sphenoid contain the ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses, respectively. ****Maxilla is a facial bone, the three cranial bones that contain sinuses are ethmoid, sphenoid and frontal.

Sphenoid Bone:(from Greek sphenoeides, meaning "wedgelike") wedge like bone, one of the eight Cranial Bones. There are fourteen Facial Bones...
The seven bones that form the orbit of the eye are the frontal bone, zygomatic bone, maxilla bone, sphenoid bone, ethmoid bone, lacrimal bone, and palatine bone. These bones create a protective cavity that houses and supports the eye.
sphenoid bone
There are 8 cranial and 14 facial bones.The cranium is composed of a pair of parietal bones, a pair of temporal bones, one occipital bone, one frontal bone, one ethmoid bone, and one sphenoid bone. All these put together comprise the eight bones that compose the cranium.Eight cranial bones protect the brain: frontal, occipital, ethmoid, sphenoid and the two pairs of parietal and temporal bones.
The Sphenoid (Sphenoidal Bone) this is why it is know as the keystone of the cranial floor *The sphenoid is not a facial bone, it is a cranial bone. There is no facial bone which 'articulates' with 'every other facial bone'. Articulation suggests jointed so sutures would make more sense & these sutures would be on all facial bones edges which knit them together
There are 8 cranial bones in the human skull. They include the frontal bone, parietal bones, temporal bones, occipital bone, sphenoid bone, and ethmoid bone.
