  2. Zygomatic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zygomatic_process

    The maxillary process presents a rough, triangular surface which articulates with the maxilla. It is the area below "zygomatic" in the image. The temporal process, long, narrow, and serrated, articulates with the zygomatic process of the temporal. It is the process to the right of "zygomatic" in the image.

  3. Zygomatic bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zygomatic_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.

  4. Zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zygomaticomaxillary...

    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.

  5. Maxilla - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxilla

    The maxilla is a paired bone - the two maxillae unite with each other at the intermaxillary suture. The maxilla consists of: [5] Inferior surface of maxilla. The body of the maxilla: pyramid-shaped; has an orbital, a nasal, an infratemporal, and a facial surface; contains the maxillary sinus. Four processes: the zygomatic process; the frontal ...

  6. Le Fort fracture of skull - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Fort_fracture_of_skull

    It comprises the maxillary bone, palatine bones, zygomas, zygomatic processes (of the temporal bone), ethmoid bone, vomer, nasal concha, nasal bones, and pterygoid processes (of the sphenoid bone). [2] [3] [4] The maxillary bone contains important anatomical structures which are prone to injury during trauma.

  7. Jugal bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jugal_bone

    The jugal bone is located on either side of the skull in the circumorbital region. It is the origin of several masticatory muscles in the skull. [1] The jugal and lacrimal bones are the only two remaining from the ancestral circumorbital series: the prefrontal, postfrontal, postorbital, jugal, and lacrimal bones.

  8. Zygomatic nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zygomatic_nerve

    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 .

  9. Zygomatic plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zygomatic_plate

    In rodent anatomy, the zygomatic plate is a bony plate derived from the flattened front part of the zygomatic arch (cheekbone). [1] At the back, it connects to the front (maxillary) root of the zygomatic arch, and at the top it is connected to the rest of the skull via the antorbital bridge. [2]
