Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The nasal bones are the two side-by-side small bones that make up what is known as the bridge of the nose. The vomer bone is the small facial bone that appears midline within the skull and functions to form a portion of the nasal septum as well as dividing the palatine and maxillary bones into left and right sides. The vomer is inferior to to the nasal bones.

Because the vomer and the nasal bones are separate bones, the given statement is false.
