- Auditory ossiclesOssicula auditusThe auditory ossicles are the three tiny linked bones of the middle ear that carry sound from the eardrum to the inner ear.
- Ethmoid boneOs ethmoideumA light, air-filled, unpaired bone between the orbits that forms the roof and upper walls of the nasal cavity beneath the brain.
- Frontal boneOs frontaleThe single bone of the forehead, which also roofs both eye sockets and forms the front of the cranial vault.
- Hyoid boneOs hyoideumA U-shaped bone across the front of the neck, below the chin and above the larynx, held in place by muscles and ligaments alone.
- Inferior nasal concha boneConcha nasalis inferiorA curled scroll of thin bone on the lower side wall of each nasal cavity, the largest of the three conchae and a facial bone in its own right.
- Lacrimal boneOs lacrimaleThe smallest and most fragile bone of the face, set in the front of the inner orbital wall where it cradles the tear sac.
- MandibleMandibulaThe mandible is the movable lower jaw bone of the skull, carrying the lower teeth and hinging on the temporal bones at each side.
- MaxillaOne of the paired bones of the upper jaw, holding the upper teeth and forming the centre of the face, the orbit floor and much of the palate.
- Nasal boneOs nasaleOne of a pair of small oblong bones that meet in the midline to build the bony bridge of the nose.
- Occipital boneOs occipitaleThe single bone at the back and base of the skull, ringing the foramen magnum and resting on the first neck vertebra.
- Palatine boneOs palatinumAn L-shaped paired bone at the rear of the nasal cavity that completes the hard palate and reaches up into the orbit.
- Parietal boneOs parietaleOne of a pair of curved, four-sided bones that make up most of the roof and side walls of the skull.
- Sinus of frontal boneSinus ossis frontalisThe pair of air-filled spaces inside the frontal bone behind the brow ridges, draining down into the middle meatus of the nose.
- Sinus of sphenoid boneSinus ossis sphenoideiThe pair of air spaces inside the sphenoid's body, deep behind the nose and just below the pituitary gland.
- Sphenoid boneOs sphenoideumThe unpaired, butterfly-shaped bone across the centre of the skull base, linking the braincase to the face and cradling the pituitary gland.
- TeethDentesThe teeth are the hard structures set in the upper and lower jaws that cut, tear and grind food, arranged in two curved arches.
- Temporal boneOs temporaleA paired bone at the side and base of the skull that houses the ear and forms the upper half of the jaw joint.
- VomerA thin unpaired plate of bone in the midline of the nose, forming the lower and back part of the nasal septum.
- Zygomatic boneOs zygomaticumThe paired cheekbone at the upper outer corner of the face, shaping the prominence of the cheek and the outer rim of the orbit.
