Across
  1. 1. an opening inferior to the apices of the mandibular first and second molars
  2. 5. bone suspended in the neck from the styloid processes of the temporal bone by the stylohyoid ligaments
  3. 6. Part of the maxilla that articulates to form the anterior part of the hard palate
  4. 9. project from the maxilla to form part of the lateral walls of the nasal cavity
  5. 10. thin plate of bone that forms part of the medial wall of the orbit
  6. 12. cenral opening for the spinal cord and associated tissue
  7. 13. process where the mandible articulates with the temporal bone
  8. 16. paired bones that form the cheekbones and part of the walls and floor of the orbit
  9. 17. vertical bones that form the lateral walls of the nasal cavity and contribute to the small lip of bone of the orbital apex
Down
  1. 2. Part of the maxilla/mandible that contains the roots of the teeth
  2. 3. where the mandible articulates with the temporal bone
  3. 4. opening between sphenoid bone and orbital processes of palatine bone
  4. 7. paired bones that are fused together to form the bridge of the nose
  5. 8. between skull and thoracic vertebrae
  6. 11. faint ridge on the medial, anterior surface where the bone was formed by fusion
