Main Model
Orbit : 20 Zygomatic bone
The zygomatic bones (cheek bones, malar bones), forming the prominences of the cheeks, lie on the inferolateral
sides of the orbits and rest on the maxillae. The anterolateral
rims, walls, floor, and much of the infra-orbital margins of the
orbits are formed by these quadrilateral bones. A small zygomaticofacial foramen pierces the lateral aspect of each
bone. The zygomatic bones articulate with
the frontal, sphenoid, and temporal bones and the maxillae.
