Answer 1

The bones that form the prominences of the cheeks as well as part of the lateral wall and floor of each orbit are the Zygomatic bones.

The zygomatic bone is proportionately small but structurally important. It is almost quadrangular in shape and it is characterized by three surfaces, five borders and two processes.

It conveys the pressure exerted on the zygomatic region towards three otherwise unconnected bones i.e. the maxilla, the frontal as well as the temporal bone.

The zygomatic bones also possess the system of canals for the branches of the zygomatic nerve. The zygomatic bone extends backward to join the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, making the zygomatic arch.
