| palatine bones | the L-shaped bone located behind the maxillae, forms the posterior section of the hard palate and the floor of the nasal cavity, and forms the lateral walls of nasal cavity |
| sacrum | bones near the distal end of the vertebral column that are fused together and form part of the pelvis |
| ethmoid bone | bone located in front of the sphenoid bone and consists of two masses, one on each side of the nasal cavity |
