| the alveolar process projects how | inferior aspect of the body of each maxilla(8 upper teeth) |
| how is the anterior nasal sinus formed | 2 maxillae are united in the midline anteriorly |
| how is the palatine process demonstrated | on a inferior view of the 2 maxillae |
| the hard palate is know as | the bony palate |
| the maxillae and the hard palate form what kind of joint | together they form a synarthrodial(immovable) joint |
| a congenital defect,an opening b/w the palatine processes,caused by an incomplete joining of the 2 bones | cleft palate |
