Facial bones

There are fourteen facial bones. Some, like the lacrimal and nasal bones, are paired. Others, like the mandible and vomer, are singular. 

This is a frontal view of a skull that labels the fourteen facial bones. The following facial bones are paired: nasal, lacrimal, inferior nasal concha, maxilla, palatine, and zygomatic. The mandible and vomer are the only singular facial bones.
