Zygomatic process is a term that refers to several anatomical structures of the skull, all of which are associated with the zygomatic bone. These structures include the temporal process of the zygomatic bone, the zygomatic process of the frontal bone, the zygomatic process of the maxilla, and the zygomatic process of the temporal bone.
Temporal process of the zygomatic bone[edit]
The temporal process of the zygomatic bone extends horizontally backward, and, together with the zygomatic process of the temporal, forms the zygomatic arch. The temporal process is strong and arched, and its shape and direction are determined by its articulation with the zygomatic process of the temporal bone.
Zygomatic process of the frontal bone[edit]
The zygomatic process of the frontal bone is a small bony projection off the lower part of the frontal bone. It articulates with the zygomatic bone and the maxilla.
Zygomatic process of the maxilla[edit]
The zygomatic process of the maxilla is a bony process that extends from the maxilla to the zygomatic bone. It forms part of the infraorbital rim and the lateral nasal wall.
Zygomatic process of the temporal bone[edit]
The zygomatic process of the temporal bone is a long arched process projecting from the lower part of the squamous part of the temporal bone. It articulates with the temporal process of the zygomatic bone to form the zygomatic arch.
