What are the superficial bones of the face?
Facial bones in humans are Mandible - lower jaw bone. Maxillae - fuse in the midline to form the upper jaw, including he front part of the upper palate, each Maxilla contains a lrge air space. Zygomatic - form prominences of the cheeks. Nasal bones - Lie side by side forming the bridge of the nose. Lacrimal bones - About the size of finger nails
How many bones are in the mandible?
In vertebrates, the lower jaw, dentary or mandible is the mobile component that articulates at its posterior processes, or rami (singular ramus), with the temporal bones of the skull on either side; the word jaw used in the singular typically refers to the lower jaw. The upper jaw or maxilla is more or less fixed with the skull and is composed of two bones, the maxillae, fused intimately at the median line by a suture; incomplete closure of this suture and surrounding structures may be involved in the malformation known as cleft palate. The maxillary bones form parts of the roof of the mouth, the floor and sides of the nasal cavity, and the floor of the orbit (eye socket). The jaws typically accommodate the teeth or form the bases for the attachment of a beak.
Why would a fractured maxilla create more problems in terms of bone healing than a fractured femur?
A fractured maxilla is more likely to have compromised blood supply, less bone density, and is subjected to constant movement due to being in the facial area. In contrast, the femur has a better blood supply, higher bone density, and is more stable due to being a weight-bearing bone. These factors contribute to slower healing and an increased risk of complications with a fractured maxilla compared to a fractured femur.
What is the condition in which bone resorption outpaces bone deposition leading to the bone becoming more porous and brittle?
Osteoporosis is the condition in which bone resorption outpaces bone deposition, causing bones to become porous and brittle. This can increase the risk of fractures and other bone-related issues.
What is an attachment site for the temporalis?
The attachment site for the temporalis muscle is the coronoid process of the mandible. This muscle originates from the temporal fossa of the skull and inserts at the coronoid process, allowing it to participate in actions like elevating and retracting the mandible during activities such as chewing and speaking.
Where is the maxilla located?
The maxilla forms the upper jaw. See the related link for more information.
Movable skull bone?
It's the jaw bone, also known as the mandible. The auditory ossicles (ear bones), although moving, are not freely moving. We cannot control the movement of these bones, as they are controlled by the sound waves that are traveling through the ears.

How the differential maxillomandibular growth results in late lower anterior dental crowding?
Differential maxillomandibular growth refers to the varying rates of growth between the maxilla (upper jaw) and mandible (lower jaw). When the mandible grows more rapidly or extensively than the maxilla, it can lead to an imbalance in dental arch space, resulting in insufficient room for the lower anterior teeth. As the tongue and lips exert pressure on the teeth, this lack of space can cause the lower anterior teeth to become crowded over time. Additionally, changes in occlusion and tooth eruption patterns can further exacerbate this crowding as the individual matures.
Why would a signinficant impact to the maxilla bone create a more difficult situation for healing than would the fracture of a long bone?
There is no way to splint the maxilla bone.
Will you have to have part of your jaw removed to remove a wisdom tooth under your jawline?
They first take your mandible out and then your maxilla. After all the tendons and muscles are clear they use vice-grips to remove whatever teeth u selected, then put in your platinum fillings. Useless ? without picture xray or more description. You know your jaw is a little vague.
What age does bone resorption generally begin to occur more rapidly than bone formation?
Age of 40

Which is the larger bone in the face?
The mandible. Attached to the mandible (via tendons) is the masseter muscle, which is capable of generating more force (in terms of pounds per square inch) than any other muscle in the human body.
What is the scientific name of lower jaw?
The mandible. See the related link for more information.
