===Maxilla===
===Maxilla===
*Forms most of the facial part of the skull, including the lateral walls of the face, nasal cavity, [[Oral Cavity Overview - Anatomy & Physiology|oral cavity]] and [[Hard Palate - Anatomy & Physiology|hard palate]]
*Forms the ventral nasal conchae
*Forms the ventral nasal conchae
*It articulates with all of the facial bones as it is the largest bone of the face
*The maxillary body encloses the maxillary sinuses and forms the external surface of the face
**Facial crest present
*Infraorbital foramen palpatable
*Conchal crest on nasal surface where the ventral nasal conchae attaches
*Lacrimal canal opens into the lacrimal foramen on the nasal surface
*Pterygopalatine surfaces are the caudal part of the maxilla which terminate in the maxillary tubercle where the sphenopalatine, maxillary and caudal palatine foramen are present
*Alveolar processes present separated by interalveolar septa
*Palatine process form the [[Hard Palate - Anatomy & Physiology|hard palate]] with the palatine bone
*Palatine fissure formed at the articulation with the incisive bone
*Nasal surface of palatine process froms the nasal crest and encloses part of the palatine sinuses
*Oral surface has numerous palatine foramina present
