Definition
Relating to the cheekbone (zygomatic bone) or the zygomatic arch, which forms the prominence of the cheek and part of the eye socket. This bone is crucial for facial structure and protection of the eye.
Etymology
From Greek 'zygoma' meaning yoke or bar, referring to the arch-like structure that connects the temporal and maxillary bones like a yoke connects oxen. The term emphasizes the bone's bridging function in facial architecture.
Kelly Says
The zygomatic bone is one of the strongest facial bones because it has to withstand the forces of chewing - your masseter muscle, one of the strongest in your body, attaches to the zygomatic arch and can generate over 200 pounds of force! Zygomatic fractures are common in facial trauma and often cause double vision because they can trap eye muscles.
