In the human skull, the zygomatic bone (from Ancient Greek: ζῠγόν, romanized: zugón, lit. 'yoke'), also called cheekbone or malar bone, is a paired irregular bone, situated at the upper and lateral part of the face and forming part of the lateral wall and floor of the orbit, of the temporal fossa and the infratemporal fossa.

2023年11月3日 · The zygomatic bone (zygoma) is an irregularly shaped bone of the skull. It is often referred to as the cheekbone, and it comprises the prominence just below the lateral side of the orbit . The zygomatic bone is nearly quadrangular in shape and it features three surfaces, five borders and two processes.

2022年2月18日 · Zygomatic bone, commonly known as the cheekbone, is a paired, irregular facial bone. It is sometimes known as ‘zygoma’, a Greek word meaning ‘yoke’. This bone forms the cheeks and the lateral walls of the eye sockets or orbits. It is located at the upper and lateral part of the face and can be felt from outside at the prominence of the cheekbones.

2023年6月5日 · The zygomatic bone (or zygoma) is a paired, irregular bone that defines the anterior and lateral portions of the face. The zygomatic complex is involved in the protection of the contents of the orbit and the contour of the face and cheeks.[1]

In this first volume of this Special Issue, a wide ranging series of papers discuss studies related to issues of development, structure, and function of the zygoma and closely related parts of the craniofacial skeleton in mammals, and in particular primates.

2024年8月20日 · The zygomatic bone consists of cartilage when a fetus is in utero, with bone-forming immediately after birth. Due to its size and function in joining many facial bones together, underdeveloped zygomatic bones cause significant issues related to the construction of the face.

2016年11月15日 · In mammals, the zygomata are paired craniofacial bones of great functional importance. Each zygoma connects the facial and cranial bones through sutures and includes articulations with the frontal, maxillary, sphenoid, and temporal bones. The zygomata are the origins for masticatory muscles, in particular the masseter muscles.
