Verified step by step guidance
1
First, identify the bones listed in the problem: Nasal, Sphenoid, Maxilla, and Zygomatic.
Understand that facial bones are those that form the structure of the face. Common facial bones include the Nasal, Maxilla, and Zygomatic bones.
Recall that the Sphenoid bone is a complex bone located at the base of the skull, which contributes to the cranial structure rather than the facial structure.
Compare each bone to determine which one does not primarily contribute to the facial structure.
Conclude that the Sphenoid bone is not a facial bone, as it is part of the cranial bones, unlike the Nasal, Maxilla, and Zygomatic bones which are facial bones.
