The mandible connects directly to the temporal bone in humans. There is no other bone in between.
The mandible bone, commonly known as the jawbone, is the skull bone that connects to the lower jaw. It is the only movable bone in the skull and plays a crucial role in activities such as chewing and speaking.

Your cheekbone is actually called the zygomatic process which is a combination of two bones your zygomatic bone and your temporal bone... but the bone you feel and see on your face is your zygomatic
The hyoid bone, located in the neck, is the only bone in the body that does not articulate with any other bone. It has a body and two pairs of horns, or greater and lesser horns, giving it a two-headed appearance.
The jaw joint, also known as the temporomandibular joint, is an articulation of the mandible (lower jaw bone) with the temporal bone of the skull. It allows for movements such as opening and closing the mouth, chewing, and speaking. Dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint can result in pain and difficulty with these functions.

The bone that is lateral to the styloid process of the temporal bone is the mandible, specifically the ramus of the mandible. The styloid process is a slender bony projection that extends downward from the temporal bone, while the mandible is located below and to the side of the skull.

The mandible is attached to the skull at the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This joint connects the mandible to the temporal bone of the skull and allows for movements necessary for chewing and speaking. The TMJ is a complex joint that can be affected by various conditions, leading to pain or dysfunction.

The frontal bone, temporal bone, zygomatic bone, maxilla, and mandible are all components of the human skull, which is part of the axial skeleton. The frontal bone forms the forehead, while the temporal bones are located on the sides of the skull. The zygomatic bone contributes to the cheek area, the maxilla forms the upper jaw, and the mandible is the lower jawbone. Together, these bones protect the brain and support facial structure.
The mandible articulates with the temporal bone to form the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which is a freely movable joint that allows for actions such as opening and closing the mouth, chewing, and speaking.
