Zygomatics Flashcards
Where are the zygomatics located
These bones make up your cheeks making up part of the orbital rim
Where is the frontal process
This rises superiorly and separates the orbit from the temporal fossa
Where is the temporal process
This extends posteriorly joining the zygomatic process of the temporal bone to form the zygomatic arch
Where is the maxillary process
This extends towards the midline, forming the inferolateral orbital margin - anterior
Where is the zygomaticofacial/orbital foramen
This is usually on the orbital rim surface to the lateral side
Where is the temporal process
This is the expanded inferior edge and fuses to the temporal
How would you side a zygomatic
The temporal process would be inferior, maxillary margin is anterior
