To solve this problem, we need to identify the bones of the human skull visible from the front (anterior view). Let's go through them step-by-step, starting from the top and moving down.
1. The Top of the Skull (Cranium)
*
Frontal Bone: This is the large bone that forms your forehead and the roof of your eye sockets. It is the big pink area at the very top.
2. The Sides of the Head (Temples)
*
Temporal Bones: These are on the sides of your head, near your ears. In the diagram, they are the yellowish-orange sections on the far left and right edges.
3. Around the Eyes (Orbits)
*
Zygomatic Bones: These are your cheekbones. They form the outer corner and bottom part of the eye socket. They are the light green/blue bones below the eyes.
*
Lacrimal Bones: These are tiny bones located in the inner corner of each eye socket (closest to the nose).
*
Ethmoid Bone: This is a complex bone located between the eyes. It helps form the inner wall of the eye sockets and the upper part of the nasal cavity.
4. The Nose Area (Nasal Cavity)
*
Nasal Bones: These are the two small rectangular bones that form the "bridge" of your nose.
*
Vomer: This is a thin, flat bone that forms the lower back part of the nasal septum (the divider inside your nose).
*
Inferior Nasal Conchae: These are scroll-like bones that stick out into the nasal cavity from the side walls. They help humidify the air you breathe.
*
Maxillae (or Maxilla): These are the large upper jaw bones. They hold your upper teeth and form the sides of the nose opening.
5. The Lower Jaw
*
Mandible: This is the lower jawbone. It is the only movable bone in the skull and holds your lower teeth.

Final Answer:
Here are the labels for the skull diagram, organized by location:
Top & Sides:
*
Frontal bone (Forehead)
*
Temporal bone (Side of head/temple)
Eye Socket (Orbit) Area:
*
Zygomatic bone (Cheekbone)
*
Lacrimal bone (Inner corner of the eye)
*
Ethmoid bone (Between the eyes)
Nose Area:
*
Nasal bone (Bridge of the nose)
*
Vomer (Lower part of the nasal divider)
*
Inferior nasal concha (Scroll-like bone inside the nose)
*
Maxilla (Upper jaw)
Jaw:
*
Mandible (Lower jaw)
