The cheekbone is primarily formed by the zygomatic bone, also known as the cheekbone or malar bone. It articulates with several other bones in the skull, including the maxilla, temporal bone, sphenoid bone, and frontal bone. The zygomatic bone helps define the lateral aspect of the face and provides structure and support to the orbit.
The zygomatic process is a bony projection found on the temporal bone of the skull. It extends forward to articulate with the zygomatic bone, contributing to the formation of the zygomatic arch. This structure plays a crucial role in the contour of the face and the formation of the cheekbone area.
Any bony prominence is named by "process". E.g. "mastoid process of the skull."
The xyphoid process is the inferior sternal bony landmark.
