Question

Which is (not) a process of the maxilla?

a)frontal
b)zygomatic
c)coronoid
d)alveolar

Answer 1

The alveolar process of the maxilla is not a process of the maxilla.

Step-by-step explanation:

The alveolar process of the maxilla is the curved, inferior margin of the maxilla (upper jaw) that supports and anchors the upper teeth. It contains sockets called alveoli in which the teeth are anchored. Therefore, alveolar is not a process of the maxilla.
