  1. 14

  2. 12

  3. 16

  4. 10

The correct answer is: 14

The human skull contains a total of 14 facial bones. These bones are specifically designed to structure the face and support the facial features, as well as to provide cavities for the eyes and openings for the digestive system. The facial bones include the nasal bones, maxillae, zygomatic bones, palatine bones, lacrimal bones, inferior nasal conchae, vomer, and mandible. Understanding the composition of facial bones is vital for barbers, especially when providing services that involve the face, such as shaving, skincare, or facial massages. Knowledge of the anatomy helps in ensuring the safety and comfort of clients during grooming procedures.
