Verified step by step guidance

Understand the classification of facial bones: Facial bones are those that form the structure of the face. They include the maxilla, palatine, nasal, zygomatic, lacrimal, vomer, and inferior nasal conchae.

Identify which facial bones contain sinuses: Sinuses are air-filled spaces within certain bones. The bones that typically contain sinuses are the frontal, maxillary, ethmoid, and sphenoid bones.

Recognize that the maxilla is a facial bone: The maxilla is one of the primary bones of the face, forming the upper jaw and part of the orbit of the eye.

Determine if the maxilla contains a sinus: The maxilla contains the maxillary sinus, which is one of the four pairs of paranasal sinuses.

Conclude that the maxilla is both a facial bone and contains a sinus, making it the correct answer to the problem.
