Ethmoid bone together they form the keystone of the face, since all the other immovable facial bones articulate with them.
Portions of these bones comprise the anterior roof of the mouth (hard palate), the floors of the orbits, and the sides and floor of the nasal cavity. They also contain the sockets of the upper teeth.
Inside the maxillae, lateral to the nasal cavity, are maxillary sinuses. These spaces are the largest of the sinuses, and they extend from the floor of the orbits to the roots of the upper teeth. Figure 7.27 shows the locations of the maxillary and other sinuses. Table 7.6 displays a summary of the sinuses.
