Zygomatic arch
Zygomatic bone
The zygomatic bone (malar bone) is a paired bone of the human
skull. It articulates with the
maxilla, the
temporal bone, the
sphenoid bone and the
frontal bone. It forms part of the
orbit and is commonly referred to as the cheekbone. It is situated at the upper and lateral part of the face: it forms the prominence of the cheek, part of the lateral wall and floor of the orbit, and parts of the temporal and infratemporal fossae [Fig. 1]. It presents a malar and a temporal surface; four
processes, the frontosphenoidal, orbital, maxillary, and temporal; and four borders.
