# Nasal bone, small oblong bones that meet at the middle and superior part of the face. Their fusion forms the superior part of the bridge of the nose.

Bones of the Skull
* Ethmoid bone, sieve-like spongy bone located in the anterior part of the floor of the cranium between the orbits. The ethmoid is the principal supporting structure of the nasal cavity.
* Frontal bone, forms the forehead, the roofs of the orbits, and most of the anterior part of the cranial floor.
* Inferior Nasal Conchae, one of three scroll-like bones that project from the lateral wall of the nasal cavity. The inferior nasal conchae articulate with the ethmoid, maxilla, lacrimal and paltine bones and form the lower part of the lateral wall of the nasal cavity.
* Lacrimal bone, a thin scalelike bone, roughly resembling a fingernail in size and shape, at the anterior part of the medial wall of the orbit, articulating with the frontal and ethmoidal bones and the maxilla and inferior nasal concha.
* Mandible, the bone forming the lower jaw; the largest and strongest bone of the face, presenting a body and a pair of rami, which articulate with the skull at the tempromandibular joints.
* Maxillae, paired bones uniting to form the upper jawbone. The maxillae articulate with every bone of the face except the mandible, or lower jawbone.
* Nasal bone, small oblong bones that meet at the middle and superior part of the face. Their fusion forms the superior part of the bridge of the nose.
* Occipital bone, a single trapezoid-shaped bone situated at the posterior and inferior part of the cranium.
* Palatine bone, one of two irregularly shaped bones (L-shaped) forming the posterior part of the hard palate, the lateral wall of the nasal fossa between the medial pterygoid plate and the maxilla, and the posterior part of the floor of the orbit. The posterior part of the hard palate, which separates the nasal cavity from the oral cavity, is formed by the horizontal plates.
* Vomer, a roughly triangular bone that forms the inferior and posterior of the nasal septum.
* Parietal bones, one of the two quadrilateral bones on either side of the cranium forming part of the superior and lateral surfaces of the skull, and joining each other in the midline at the sagittal suture. The parietal bones form the greater portion of the sides and roof of the cranial cavity.
* Sphenoid bone, a single, irregular, wedge-shaped bone at the base of the skull, which forms a part of the floor of the anterior, middle, and posterior cranial fossae. This bone is referred to as the keystone of the cranial floor because it articulates with all the other cranial bones.
* Temporal bone, one of the two irregular bones on either side of the skull forming part of the lateral surfaces and base of the skull, and containing the organs of hearing. The temporal bones form the inferior sides of the cranium and part of the cranial floor.
* Zygomatic bone, the triangular bones on either side of the face below the eyes, commonly referred to as the cheekbones, they form the prominences of the cheeks and part of the outer wall and floor of the orbits.
