Facial bones include 2 nasals, 2 maxillae, 2 palatines, 2 zygomatic or cheek bones, 2 lacrimals, 2 inferior nasal conchae, 1 vomer and 1 mandible. The vomer is one of the unpaired facial bones of the skull. It forms the posterior part of the nasal septum, with the anterior part formed by the ethmoid bone.
