Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the human skull is divided into two main parts: the cranium and the facial bones. The cranium protects the brain, while the facial bones form the structure of the face.
Identify the bones listed in the problem: temporal bone, vomer, occipital bone, sphenoid bone, and parietal bone.
Recall that the facial bones include the vomer, nasal bones, maxilla, zygomatic bones, palatine bones, lacrimal bones, inferior nasal conchae, and mandible.
Recognize that the temporal, occipital, sphenoid, and parietal bones are part of the cranium, not the facial bones.
Conclude that the vomer is the only bone listed that is part of the facial bones, as it forms part of the nasal septum.
