sponge-like in appearance
Ethmoid Bone
project inferiorly from cribriform plate
forms the superior portion of nasal septum
Perpendicular Plate
small, flattened, rectangular-shaped bones that form bridge of the nose
Nasal Bone
roughly triangular bone on floor of nasal cavity
articulates superiorly with perpendicular plate of ethmoid bone and sphenoid bone
articulates inferiorly with maxilla and palatine bones along midline
Vomer
unite to form upper jawbone
articulate with every facial bone except mandible
Maxilla
form posterior portion of hard palate, part of floor and lateral wall of nasal cavity, and small portion of orbit floor
Palatine BOne
thin and resemble fingernail in size and shape
smallest bone of face
posterior and lateral to the nasal bones and form a part of medial orbit wall
Lacrimal Bone
cheekbones
form the prominences of cheeks and part of lateral wall and floor of each orbit
Zygomatic Bone

largest and strongest facial bone
the only movable skull bone
Mandible
scroll-like bones
form a part of inferior lateral wall of nasal cavity
project into the nasal cavity
Inferior Nasal Concha
u-shaped
unique component as it does not articulate with any other bone
