1. Zygomatic arch

   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); the tendon of the temporal muscle passes medial to (i.e. through the middle of) the arch, to gain insertion into the coronoid process of the mandible (jawbone). The jugal point is the point at the anterior (towards face) end of the upper border of the zygomatic arch where the masseteric and maxillary edges meet at an angle, and where it meets the process of the zygomatic bone.The arch is typical of Synapsida (“fused arch”), a clade of amniotes that includes mammals and their extinct relatives, such as Moschops and Dimetrodon.

1. zygomatic arch

   The zygomatic arch, also known as the cheekbone, is a bony arch on the side of the skull that spans from the area of the cheek to just above the outer ear canal. It is formed by the meeting of the zygomatic process of the temporal bone and the temporal process of the zygomatic bone, and serves as the attachment point for several facial muscles.

1. Zygomatic arch

   The zygomatic arch or cheek bone is formed by the zygomatic process of temporal bone and the temporal process of the zygomatic bone, the two being united by an oblique suture; the tendon of the Temporalis passes medial to the arch to gain insertion into the coronoid process of the mandible. The jugal point is the point at the anterior end of the upper border of the zygomatic arch where the masseteric and maxillary edges meet at an angle. The jugal point is the anterior end of upper border of the zygomatic arch where it meets the process of the zygomatic bone. The term zygomatic derives from the Greek Ζυγόμα zygoma meaning "yoke". The zygomatic arch is occasionally referred to as the zygoma, but this term usually refers to the zygomatic bone or occasionally the zygomatic process. The zygomatic process of the temporal arises by two roots: ⁕an anterior, directed inward in front of the mandibular fossa, where it expands to form the articular tubercle. ⁕a posterior, which runs backward above the external acoustic meatus and is continuous with the supramastoid crest.
