The zygomatic process forms an "L" in this picture. As a comparison, this is how the skull looks with almost all of the zygomatic process removed. The zygomatic processes (aka. malar) are three processes (protrusions) from other bones of the skull which each articulate with the zygomatic bone. The three processes are: [1]
In anatomy, the zygomatic arch (colloquially known as the cheek bone), is a part of the skull formed by the zygomatic process of the temporal bone (a bone extending forward from the side of the skull, over the opening of the ear) and the temporal process of the zygomatic bone (the side of the cheekbone), the two being united by an oblique suture (the zygomaticotemporal suture); [1] the tendon ...
Diagram showing homologous bones of the skulls of a monitor lizard and a crocodile. Jugal bone labelled Ju, in pale green, at centre left. The jugal is a skull bone found in most reptiles, amphibians and birds. In mammals, the jugal is often called the malar or zygomatic.
ZMC complex fractures involve the lateral vertical buttress of the ZMC complex (lateral maxillary sinus and lateral orbital wall) and the upper transverse buttress (inferior orbital rim and floor, also including the zygomatic arch). Three of its four components are directly related to connections between the zygoma and the face.
The term zygoma generally refers to the zygomatic bone, a bone of the human skull that is commonly referred to as the cheekbone or malar bone, but it may also refer to: . The zygomatic arch, a structure in the human skull formed primarily by parts of the zygomatic bone and the temporal bone
