The statement is true because the viscerocranium, also known as the facial skeleton, consists of 14 bones. These bones include the mandible (lower jaw), maxilla (upper jaw), nasal bones, zygomatic bones (cheekbones), lacrimal bones (tear ducts), palatine bones (roof of the mouth), vomer bone (nasal septum), inferior nasal conchae, and the hyoid bone. These bones form the structure and support for the face and contribute to functions such as chewing, speaking, and breathing.
