The maxillae, or maxillary bones, are a pair of fused bones that form the upper jaw and central part of the facial skeleton. They support the upper teeth, contribute to the formation of the orbits (eye sockets), and play a crucial role in the structure of the nasal cavity and palate. Additionally, the maxillae are involved in functions such as chewing and speech.

The palpi of the maxillae help sense and manipulate food before ingestion, aiding in taste and texture recognition. The labium acts as a protective and support structure during feeding, helping guide food into the mouth.
The small white structures in the maxillae and mandible are the teeth. They are anchored in the jawbone sockets and consist of enamel, dentin, and pulp. Teeth help in chewing, speaking, and maintaining the structure of the face.
