Lateral process of the zygomatic bone
Template:Infobox Anatomy Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]
The lateral process of the zygomatic bone (or malar) is convex and perforated near its center by a small aperture, the zygomaticofacial foramen, for the passage of the zygomaticofacial nerve and vessels; below this foramen is a slight elevation, which gives origin to the Zygomaticus.
