What is the name of the spongy bone located between both eye sockets that forms part of the nasal cavity?

The spongy bone located between both eye sockets that forms part of the nasal cavity is known as the ethmoid bone. This bone plays a critical role in the structure of the skull as well as in the formation of the nasal cavity and the orbits of the eyes. The ethmoid bone contains numerous small air-filled spaces called ethmoidal cells, which contribute to the overall shape and function of the nasal cavity. Additionally, the location of the ethmoid bone allows it to support the olfactory bulbs, which are involved in the sense of smell.

The maxilla is located in the upper jaw and does contribute to the formation of the face and nasal cavity, but it is distinct from the ethmoid bone, which is specifically the spongy bone situated between the eye sockets. The sphenoid bone is located at the base of the skull and contributes to the eye socket, but it does not directly form part of the nasal cavity. The temporal bone, found on the sides of the skull, also does not have any role in forming the structure of the nasal cavity or the region between the eye sockets.
