How many facial bones are there in the skull aside from the cranial bones?

  1. 12

  2. 14

  3. 16

  4. 18

The correct answer is: 14

There are 14 facial bones in the skull aside from the cranial bones. The cranial bones include the frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones. The facial bones include the maxilla, zygomatic, nasal, lacrimal, palatine, vomer, inferior nasal conchae, and mandible bones. Option A is incorrect because 12 is the number of cranial bones, not facial bones. Option C is incorrect because 16 is the total number of facial bones and cranial bones combined. Option D is incorrect because 18 is too high of a number for the facial bones alone. Therefore, option B is the only correct answer.
