    Transcript

    00:01 Now we have the zygomatic bone.

    00:04 Which is very complicated as well and it has a lateral facial surface.

    00:10 That's going to participate in the formation of what we call the cheekbones.

    00:15 And we can see it has parameters such as the zygomaticofacial parameter.

    00:20 Through which structures like nerves are going to pass.

    00:23 It's also going to be the attachment point for certain muscles of facial expressions.

    00:27 Such as zygomaticus major.

    00:29 And zygomaticus minor.

    00:33 Here we see the posteromedial or temporal surface of the bone.

    00:40 And if we zoom in, we can see zygomaticotemporal foramina.

    00:45 Again, these are openings passageways for nerves to pass through.

    00:50 Here we see its orbital surface so it participates in part of the bony orbit.

    00:55 Here you can see the anterosuperior orbital border which is also forming the orbital border.

    01:01 The anteroinferior border also forming the maxillary border.

    01:05 The posterior superior border which is also the temporal border.

    01:10 As well as his posterior inferior and posterior medial borders.

    01:17 Now let's look at the processes coming off of the zygomatic bone.

    01:21 First we have the frontal process interacting with the frontal bone.

    01:26 And it's going to interact with the zygomatic process of the frontal bone.

    01:30 So they're correspondingly named.

    01:33 We also have the temporal process.

    01:36 Which is going to interact with the zygomatic process of the temporal bone together forming the zygomatic arch.
