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.
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 ...
Research dating back to the early 1900s has shown correlations between high protein diets and increased acid excretion. [11] One measure of the acidic or basic effects foods have in the body is Potential Renal Acid Load (PRAL). Cheeses with protein content of 15 g protein/100g or higher have a high PRAL value of 23.6 mEq/100 g edible portion ...
A study of 90 ice hockey players found a statistically significant correlation between a wider face—a greater than average cheekbone-to-cheekbone distance relative to the distance between brow and upper lip—and the number of penalty minutes a player received for violent acts like slashing, elbowing, checking from behind, and fighting.
If you have a round face, you’ve been gifted with a soft jawline, high cheekbones and a rounded chin. This shape is characterized by nearly identical width (cheekbone to cheekbone) and length ...
Pro tip: Cheekbones stand out the most on diamond faces. But if you wanted to reduce their appearance, you could contour downwards on the cheekbones and highlight the forehead and chin to even out ...
A human skull and measurement device from 1902. Craniometry is measurement of the cranium (the main part of the skull), usually the human cranium.It is a subset of cephalometry, measurement of the head, which in humans is a subset of anthropometry, measurement of the human body.
Many recent, large, well-conducted studies have shown no benefits in reducing fracture risk, cardiovascular disease, cancer prevention, or death from vitamin D supplementation,” Cutler said.
