    • The vomer is one of the unpaired facial bones of the skull. It is located in the midsagittal line, and articulates with the sphenoid, the ethmoid, the left and right palatine bones, and the left and right maxillary bones. The vomer forms the inferior part of the nasal septum in humans, with the superior part formed by the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone. The na… See more

  1. The main function of the vomer is to form the nasal septum together with the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone and the nasal septal cartilage. In addition, it provides grooves for the passageway of the neurovascular structures of the nasal cavity.

    The vomer forms the inferior part of the nasal septum in humans, with the superior part formed by the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone. The name is derived from the Latin word for a ploughshare and the shape of the bone.

    What is ethmoid bone?
    The ethmoid bone is a small bone with a cuboidal structure that forms the lateral boundaries of the orbit, the anterior cranial fossa superiorly, and the nasal cavities inferiorly. It is relatively light and has a spongy texture. The ethmoid bone consists of the cribriform plate, two ethmoid labyrinths, and the perpendicular plate.

    Which bone articulates with the ethmoid bone?
    The vomer also articulates with the ethmoid bone, both palatine bones, and both maxillary bones. The vomer is situated in the sagittal plane and forms part of the inferior part of the nasal septum, while the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone forms the superior part.

    How does the ethmoid bone ossify?
    The ethmoid bone ossifies completely by endochondral ossification. In newborns the labyrinths are relatively small and both the perpendicular and cribriform plates consists mainly out of cartilage. The latter start to ossify by the age of one and fuse with the labyrinths by the age of two to form a single ethmoid bone.

    What is vomer agenesis?
    Vomer agenesis is the absence of this bone at birth. This very rare defect occurs on its own or in some cleft palate cases and is largely asymptomatic. The vomer’s main job is to help support the structure of the nasal passages and face.

    What is the difference between anterior and posterior ethmoid?
    The anterior border is the longest and slopes downward and forward. Its upper half is fused with the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid; its lower half is grooved for the inferior margin of the septal cartilage of the nose. The posterior border is free of bony articulation, having no muscle attachments.

    What is the function of ethmoid labyrinth?
    The perpendicular plate. The ethmoid labyrinths lie on both lateral sides and contain numerous little cavities with ethmoidal cells which comprise the ethmoidal sinus. The ethmoidal cells are important structures for the skull, responsible for olfactory sensation, humidification, phonation, and ventilation.
