Article
The facial skeleton comprises the facial bones that may attach to build a portion of the skull. The remainder of the skull is the neurocranium.
In human anatomy and development, the facial skeleton is sometimes called the membranous viscerocranium, which comprises the mandible and dermatocranial elements that are not part of the braincase.
