Some of the facial bones are discussed below to give a brief idea about facial skeleton.

Maxilla:
The maxilla consists of two separate bones that fuse together to form the maxilla. The maxilla is located above the mandible and below the orbits. The function of the maxilla is to provide protection to the face, support of the orbits, hold the upper teeth in place, and form the floor of the nose. The maxilla is divided into the following components: the body, the zygomatic process, the frontal process, the alveolar process, the palatine process, the infraorbital foramen, and the maxillary sinus. The alveolar process is known as the maxillary arch and is the portion of the maxilla that holds the upper teeth in place.
Mandible:
The mandible bone forms the lower jaw of the human skull. The main function of this bone is to provide support to the lower part of the face and also hold the lower teeth in place. The mandible is essential for movement of the mouth. It articulates with the temporal bones. The sections of the mandible bone are the body, the two rami, the alveolar process, the condyle, and the coronoid process. The inferior alveolar nerve runs through the mandibular foramen (opening) and provides sensation to the teeth.
Palatine bone:
The palatine bone consists of two bones that fuse together to form the palatine. This bone is located in the back part of the nasal cavity. The palatine bone functions in protection of organs in the region, and forms the roof of the mouth and floor of the eye socket. Furthermore, each palatine bone touches six other facial bones: the ethmoid, the sphenoid, the maxilla, the inferior nasal concha, the vomer, and the other palatine.
Zygomatic Bone:
The zygomatic bone, also known as the cheek bone or malar bone, supports the region of the face known as the cheek, protects organs in the area, and forms part of the orbit. The zygomatic consists of four borders: orbital, maxillary, temporal border, and zygomatic.
Lacrimal bone:
The lacrimal bone is located in (and forms part of) the medial wall of the orbit. It is the smallest bone of the face. Each lacrimal bone touches four bones: the frontal, the ethmoid, the maxilla, and the inferior nasal concha.
