The eye socket, also known as the orbital cavity, is a bony structure in the skull that houses and protects the eyeball and its associated components. It is formed by several bones, including the frontal bone, zygomatic bone, and maxilla. The eye socket provides a stable environment for the eye and allows for the attachment of muscles that control eye movement. In addition to the eyeball, the eye socket contains important structures such as nerves and blood vessels. These elements are essential for vision and overall eye health. The shape and size of the eye socket can vary among individuals, influencing the appearance of the eyes.
