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, or 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 of the temporal muscle ...
Zygomatic (from Greek ζύγωμα (zygōma), "yoke") may refer to: Zygomatic arch; Zygomatic bone; Zygomatic branches of the facial nerve; Zygomaticus major muscle; Zygomaticus minor muscle; Zygomatic nerve; Zygomatic process. Zygomatic process of frontal bone; Zygomatic process of maxilla; Zygomatic process of temporal bone
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 .
Quantum nonlocality caused by quantum entanglement does not allow faster-than-light communication or imply instant action at a distance, despite its common characterization as "spooky action at a distance". Rather, it means that certain experiments cannot be explained by local realism. [455] [456] The slipperiness of ice is not due to pressure ...
The zygomatic nerve is a branch of the maxillary nerve (itself a branch of the trigeminal nerve (CN V)). It arises in the pterygopalatine fossa and enters the orbit through the inferior orbital fissure before dividing into its two terminal branches: the zygomaticotemporal nerve and zygomaticofacial nerve .
[1] [3] It has a mean volume of about 10 ml. [1] [verification needed] It is situated within the body of the maxilla, [1] [3] [4] but may extend into its zygomatic and alveolar processes when large. It is pyramid-shaped, with the apex at the maxillary zygomatic process, and the base represented by the lateral nasal wall. [4]
The zygomasseteric system (or zygomasseteric structure) in rodents is the anatomical arrangement of the masseter muscle of the jaw and the zygomatic arch of the skull. The anteroposterior or propalinal (front-to-back) motion of the rodent jaw is enabled by an extension of the zygomatic arch and the division of the masseter into a superficial, lateral and medial muscle.
