The orbital bone refers to the bones that form the eye socket, also known as the orbit. This structure protects the eye and supports the surrounding tissues. The orbit is made up of several bones, including the frontal, zygomatic, maxillary, and ethmoid bones, among others. These bones work together to create a cavity that houses the eyeball and its associated muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. The orbital bones play a crucial role in vision by providing a stable environment for the eye and allowing for movement through the attachment of muscles.
