Zyomatic, Inferior Nasal Conchae, Vomer, and Mandible bones

The zygoma or malar bone, creates the prominence of the cheeks, and contributes to the _

lateral portion of the bony orbit

The temporal process of the zygoma extends posteriorly to join with the zygomatic process of the _ to form the _

temporal bone; zygomatic arrch

The_ project medially and inferiorly along the nasal cavity and are easily identified by their scroll-like appearance

inferior nasal conchae

These conchae, along with the superior and middle nasal conchae of the ethmoid bone, divide the nasal cavity into

superior, middle, and inferior meati

The vomer projects _ and form the _

superiorly from the base of the nasal cavity; inferior portion of the bony nasal septum

The largest facial bone is the _

mandible

The mandible has largely horizontal and vertical portions, and the junction of these points is termed the _

gonion

The curved horizontal portion, the mandible body, contains an _ similar to the maxilla

alveolar process

The verticle portion of the mandible is called the

ramus

Each ramus has two processes at its superior portion:

• The coronoid process

• The condyloid process or condyle

The _ serves as an attachment site for the temporalis and masseter muscles

Coronoid process

The _ articulates with the mandibular fossa of the temporal bone to form the temporomandibular joint

Condyloid process or condyle

The coronoid and condyloid/condyle processes are separated by a concave surface called the _

Mandibular notch
