Anatomy of the maxilla (With mnemonic!)

The maxilla is a centrally located paired bone of the viscerocranium that forms the midface. Also, the maxilla forms the upper part of the jaw and supports the upper teeth. Moreover, each maxilla houses an air-filled cavity called the maxillary sinus. 💡 Overall, each maxilla consists of five parts - one body and four processes. The body is the central portion of the maxilla, and it supports the frontal, zygomatic, palatine and alveolar processes.😎 Visit our Skull article in the 3D Head and nec
