3. These bones form the bridge of the nose.
6. The inferior nasal conchae are also known as inferior nasal ________________ .
7. This muscle originates on the temporal fossa and inserts on the coronoid process of the mandible.
10. Narrow, oblong canal that serves as the primary drainage pathway from the maxillary sinuses into the middle meatus.
16. This portion of the Palatine bone joins anteriorly with the palatine process of the maxilla to form the hard palate.
18. Sinuses that are also called the antrum of Highmore.
19. Located on the midsagittal line and forms the inferior portion of the bony nasal septum.
21. The Zygoma is also known as these bones...
22. Medial and lateral muscles that originate from the pterygoid process of the sphenoid bone.
24. Portion of the palatine bone that extends to form a segment of the lateral wall of the nasal cavity and the medial wall of the orbit.
27. Thickest wall of the orbit.
28. Sinuses that are normally paired and occupy the body of the sphenoid just below the sella turcica.
29. Sinuses that do not form or become aerated until 6 years of age.

1. The posterior 1/4 of this palate is created by the horizontal portion of the palatine bones.
2. Strongest muscle of the jaw.
4. Nasal cavity is lined by this and is responsible for filtering airborne particles. (2 words)
5. Vertical portion of the mandible.
8. Foramen which transmits the infraorbital nerve and blood vessels.
9. L-shaped bones located in the posterior aspect of the nasal cavity between the maxilla and pterygoid process of the sphenoid.
11. This process serves as an attachment site for the temporalis and masseter muscles.
12. Various openings through which drainage of the paranasal sinuses occurs.
13. Process that articulates with the mandibular fossa of the temporal bone to form the temporomandibular joint.
14. Bones that form the medial wall of each orbit.
15. Largest facial bone.
17. This wall of the orbit is exceedingly thin.
20. The angle created by junction of portions of the mandible.
23. This process of the zygomatic bone extends posteriorly to join the zygomatic process of the temporal bone to form the zygomatic arch.
25. Sinuses contained within the lateral masses of the ethmoid bone.
26. Nerve of sight.
