Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Vomer

• The skull is composed of two sets of bones cranial(8) and facial(14), that totals to 22 bones. The facial bones include Inferior nasal concha (2), Lacrimal bones (2), Mandible (1) Maxilla (2), Nasal bones (2), Palatine bones (2), Vomer(1), Zygomatic bones (2).
• The mandible and vomer are unpaired facial bones.
• Hence vomer is unpaired facial bone.
• So, the correct answer is 'Vomer'.
