  1. 3. The horseshoe shaped bone isn’t necessarily a bone of the face, but it’s also not really a bone of the cranium.
  2. 4. is at the midline of the chin. Its function is to depress the tongue and make it protrude.
  3. 9. Forming the bridge of the nose are two nasal bones
  4. 10. raises the mandible and closes the jaw and originates from the temporal fossa of the temporal bone
  5. 11. It pushes the cheeks against the teeth and pulls back the angles of the mouth.
  6. 13. Forming the bridge of the nose are two nasal bones
  7. 14. one on either side of the head, that form the side and base of the cranium.
  8. 16. Major It works to draw the angles of the mouth up and back when laughing.
  9. 19. that form the upper jaw. They are irregular shaped bones that join in the middle, or midline, by the maxillary suture.
  10. 20. forms part of the anterior base of the skull and walls of the orbits.
  11. 21. Each one resembles a scroll and extends into the nasal cavity. They are formed in the ethmoid bone and are called the superior, middle, and inferior
  12. 22. a short, paired muscle that belongs to the suprahyoid muscle group of the neck.
  13. 23. located on either side of the face. These are also known as the malar bones.
  14. 26. Creating the floor of the cranium, the orbit, and the nasal cavity
  15. 27. pterygoid square-shaped masticatory muscle, located on the medial aspect of the lower jaw bilaterally
  16. 28. pterygoid depresses the mandible and opens the mouth when assisted by the anterior belly of the digastric muscle and the mylohyoid muscle

  1. 1. located near the collar bone
  2. 2. Its function is to depress the mandible and elevate the hyoid bone
  3. 5. Oris muscle fibers around the mouth
  4. 6. located on the external surface of the occipital bone
  5. 7. make up the orbit near the inner angle of the eye. They are small, thin bones found directly behind the frontal process of the maxillary bones.

  7. 12. forms the forehead, part of the cranium floor, and part of the top of the orbits
  8. 15. Forming the roof and upper sides of the cranium
  9. 17. one of the muscles essential in performing the functions of swallowing and speaking

  11. 19. Forming the lower part of the jaw, The opening and closing of the jaw allows for chewing food.
