The mandible does not make up a part of the orbit. The orbit, or eye socket, is primarily formed by seven bones: the frontal, sphenoid, zygomatic, maxilla, palatine, lacrimal, and ethmoid bones. The mandible, which is the lower jawbone, is located below the skull and does not contribute to the structure of the orbit.
