Skull - Anterior View

Orbital surface: The space where the eyes would be
Frontal bone:
 The anterior portion of the skull where the forehead is and makes up the ceiling of the orbital surface 
Supraorbital foramen: Tiny holes just above the entrance to the orbitals on the anterior surface of the skull
Lacrimal bone: The bone most anterior and medial in the orbital surface
Zygomatic bone: The cheekbone in this view and makes up the lateral surface of the orbital surface
Maxilla bone: The upper region of the mouth ending just below the cheekbone and orbitals and makes up the floor of the orbital surface
Anterior nasal spine: The small sharp project superior to the teeth of the maxilla just below where the base of the nose is
Mental foramen: Tiny holes on the anterior surface of the mandible just slightly lateral from the center of the body
Zygomatic process of the Maxilla: The process branching from the maxilla part of the cheekbone
Infraorbital foramen: The tiny holes just inferior to the entrance of the orbitals
Inferior orbital fissure: The inferior slit towards the posterior end of the orbital surface
Superior orbital fissure: The slits superior to the inferior orbital fissure in the orbital surface
Nasal cavity: The space posterior to where the nose would be
Nasolacrimal canal: The hole at the anterior and inferior aspect of the orbital surface by the lacrimal bone
Alveolar crest of the maxilla: The gum line ridge superior to the teeth on the maxilla
Nasal bone: The small surface just superior to the nasal cavity on the anterior surface of the skull in this view inferior to the frontal bone
Mandible: The lower half of the mouth recognized as the jaw
Mandibular ramus: The vertical portion of the mandible 
Mandibular angle: The corner where the mandibular ramus changes direction to head anteriorly
Alveolar crest of the mandible: The gum line ridge of the mandible 
Mandibular condyle: The more posterior and superior end of the mandibular ramus that articulates with the mandibular foss of the temporal bone
Coronoid process of the mandible: The short process more anterior to the mandibular condyle 
Ethmoid bone: Can be seen in this view inside the orbital surface just posterior to the lacrimal bone
Vomer: The plate in the nasal cavity traveling posterior from the anterior nasal spine
Perpendicular plate: The plate posterior and perpendicular to the vomer in the nasal cavity
Inferior nasal concha: The more inferior cleft on the inside of to walls of the nasal cavity 
Middle nasal concha: The cleft superior to the inferior nasal concha 
Sphenoid bone: Can be recognized by its greater wing on the posterior aspect of the orbital surface separating the inferior and superior orbital fissures with the lesser wing also in the posterior end superior to the superior orbital fissure
