how many bones in face

The facial skeleton consists of 14 bones with different anatomic structures and embryological formations (2 unpaired and 6 paired). These bones comprise the paired nasal bones, inferior nasal conchae, palatine bones, maxillae, zygomatic bones, lacrimal bones, and the unpaired mandible and vomer.

Skull bones – Facial and Cranial Bones

The skull comprises numerous, separate bones fused at the immobile joints, referred to as sutures, except for the mandible, which is fused to the skull by the mobile, synovial Temporomandibular joints (TMJ).

Normally, the human skull has twenty-two bones – fourteen facial skeleton bones and eight cranial bones.

The space containing the brain is the cranial cavity. The calvarium or the skull vault is the upper part of the cranium, forming the roof and the sidewalls of the cranial cavity. The foundation of the skull is the lower part of the cranium, constituting the floor of the cranial cavity.

What are the 22 Bones of the Skull?

The skull bones can be broadly divided into two main sections –

       Facial skeleton bones (14)

       Cranial bones (8)

Human Skeletal System

The skeletal system functions as the basic framework of a body and the entire body are built around the hard framework of Skeleton. It is the combination of all the bones and tissues associated with cartilages and joints. Almost all the rigid or solid parts of the body are the main components of the skeletal system. Joints play an important role in the skeletal system as it helps in permitting the different types of movements at different locations. If the skeleton were without joints, then there would be no sign of the movements in the human body.
