cheek bone
The zygomatic bone forms the cheekbone, also known as the zygomatic arch. It contributes to the structure of the face and helps protect the eye and other facial structures.
The proximal end of the mandible or lower jawforms the underlying structure of the chin. The mental turerosity and the mental protruberance are the "inner curve" and "outer curve" of the jawline at the chin, respectively. Use the link below to see a drawing.
the chin bone is actually the jaw bone and is called the mandible
The frontal bone forms the forehead and part of the eye socket. It helps protect the brain and supports important structures like the frontal lobe of the brain. Additionally, it plays a role in forming the shape of the face.
The bone that is inferior to the orbit is the maxilla. It forms the majority of the floor of the orbit and contributes to the structure of the face. Additionally, the zygomatic bone and the palatine bone also have minor contributions to the orbital floor.
The maxilla bone articulates with the inferior border of the zygomatic bone. This articulation forms part of the mid-face structure and helps support the cheekbones and surrounding facial features.
The smallest facial bones are known as lacrimal bones.
These are bones in the face that stick out from the sides to form the cheek. There is one on each side.
The bone that forms the majority of the hard palate and is considered a keystone bone of the face is the maxilla. The maxilla plays a crucial role in supporting the upper teeth and forming the boundaries of the oral cavity, nasal cavity, and the eye sockets. Its connections with numerous other facial bones make it essential for maintaining the structural integrity of the face.
The scientific name for the jawbone is the mandible. It is a U-shaped bone that forms the lower jaw and is the largest and strongest bone in the face.
There are fourteen bones that make up the face of the skull. We can feel and see the outline of only a few of these bones. These bones include the zygomatic bones (cheekbones), the nasal bones of the bridge of the nose, the maxilla (upper jaw), and the mandible (lower jaw).
The smallest facial bone is known as the lacrimal bone.
