Orbit is the bony socket. The eyeball is placed in the bony socket. The arrangement of the bones is such that the eye is usually protected from the injury.
The two main functions of the orbit are to protect and support the eye, as well as to provide a bony socket for the eye to sit in and allow for movement of the eye.
The ethmoid bone connects the orbit to the nasal cavity. It forms part of the side walls and roof of the nasal cavity, and also contributes to the medial wall of the orbit.
The eyewall of a hurricane, just outside the eye, has the strongest wind in a hurricane.
The eye is housed in a bony socket in the skull called the orbit. The orbit is formed by several bones, including the frontal, zygomatic, maxilla, and ethmoid bones. These bones provide protection and support for the eyes.

No, the lacrimal bone is a small, fragile bone that contributes to the bony orbit of the eye, while the lacrimal fossa is a depression on the medial wall of the orbit that houses the lacrimal sac, which is responsible for draining tears from the eyes.
Orbit
This is the bony ridge around the eye socket, part of which forms the eyebrow.
The middle bone, or wall of the eye's orbit
The studs
The common name of the orbit bone is the eye socket. It is a bony cavity in the skull that contains the eye and its associated muscles and nerves.
It is the very thin medial wall of the orbit
The two main functions of the orbit are to protect and support the eye, as well as to provide a bony socket for the eye to sit in and allow for movement of the eye.
The scientific name for the eye socket is orbit. It is a bony cavity in the skull that contains the eyeball.
RIBCAGE - good luck on the cross word :)
Orbits are cone-shaped bony cavities in which the eyes are firmly encased and cushioned by fatty tissue.
