Verified step by step guidance

Begin by understanding the anatomy of the facial skeleton. The facial skeleton consists of several bones, including the maxillae, which are the upper jaw bones.

Identify the bones listed in the problem: vomer, zygomatic bone, lacrimal bone, and mandible. Consider their locations and functions within the facial skeleton.

Recall that the maxillae articulate with most of the facial bones, forming the upper jaw and part of the orbit. This articulation is crucial for the structure and function of the face.

Examine the mandible, which is the lower jawbone. It is unique among the facial bones because it does not articulate with the maxillae. Instead, it forms a movable joint with the temporal bones of the skull, known as the temporomandibular joint.

Conclude that the mandible is the only bone in the facial skeleton that does not articulate with the maxillae, as it is separate and forms a distinct joint with the skull.
