Temporal bone
Zygomatic Maxilla
bone
Mandible
Sphenoid bone – Helps form the base and lateral sides of the skill in combination with
the orbital floor.
Zygomatic bone – Helps give shape and structure of the face and is connected to the jaw.
Temporal bone – Provides structural support for the skull, while protecting the
cerebrum of the brain.
Maxilla – Provides critical bone structure to the skull and defines the
face. Mandible – Holds the lower teeth and aids in chewing.
