- This facial bone is commonly known as the "upper jaw bone."
- This facial bone is commonly known as the "lower jaw bone."
- These structures help separate the nasal cavity into three compartments.
- This opening allows passage of several nerves and is in the bottom of the orbit.
- Orbital trauma can especially damage these nerves resulting in paralysis of eye movement. Top of the Orbit
- This opening receives the nerve for vision, which if damaged, results in blindness.
