Bring Anatomy to life
The body of the maxilla is the central part of the bone. It has four surfaces and encloses a large cavity, the maxillary sinus. (1)
The anterior surface of the maxilla is oriented anterolaterally. Its inferior part presents multiple prominences corresponding to the teeth’s roots. (1)
The anterior nasal spine is a sharp bony projection that is located at the inferior end of the nasal notch. It results from the articulation of the maxilla with the opposing maxilla. (1)
The anterior lacrimal crest is a vertically oriented ridge on the frontal process of the maxilla that continues the orbital margin. (1)
The anterior clinoid processes are two bony prominences on either side of the lesser wings. They are positioned on the medial end of the lesser wings’ posterior border. (1)
