The orbits vary in width and height, the cranial ridge is either single or double, either much or little developed, and the zygomatic aperture varies considerably in size.
I asked you a little bit ago if there was a wound in the left temporal area, right above the zygomatic bone in the hairline, because there was blood there and I thought there might have been a wound there (indicating).
No--I don't know whether this is right or not, but I thought there was a wound on the left temporal area, right in the hairline and right above the zygomatic process.

Skull: Jugular part of zygomatic arch more curved (convex dorsally) and occiput far more inclined anterodorsally; lower part of mastoidal ridge more prominent.
In color they agree with majusculus, as they do also in width of nasals posteriorly, in more obtuse angle of the rostrum and maxillary arm of the zygomatic arch.
Tail relatively longer; skull wider across zygomatic arches than across mastoid processes of squamosal (reverse true in C.
The generalized skulls are short and not especially narrow; the zygomatic arches are spread laterally so far that the breadth across them exceeds the breadth across the mastoid processes.
As a result of the flattening of the skull the angular processes of the lower jaws are lateral to the zygomatic arches, and approximately on the same vertical level with them.
The deep masseter, especially the zygomatic part having its origin along the zygomatic arch, inserts on the angular process of the lower jaw.
The most specialized skulls are platycephalic and the breadth across the mastoid processes equals or exceeds the breadth across the zygomatic arches (even so, the zygomatic arches are still relatively widespread).
This is especially true of the zygomaticdivision of the deep masseter, which inserts on the angular process.
In these skulls the breadth across the squamosal processes is less than that across the zygomatic arches, although the two dimensions are almost equal in some examples of P.
The skull of a toy-terrier has much restricted areas of insertion for the temporal muscles; has weak zygomatic arches; and has extremely small attachments for the masseter muscles.
Size smaller; tip of baculum in adults less than 28 per cent of length of shaft; zygomatic arches proportionally wider; underparts white or with less yellow or tawny.
Size small; tip of baculum of adults less than 28 per cent of length of shaft; outermost dorsal dark stripes distinct; skull small to medium; when skull medium, zygomatic breadth not proportionally narrower.
Exclusively of the first type, approaching by an increased zygomatic development, with the northern tribes, that of the Seriform Mongolidæ.
When the zygomaticspace is large, the arch of the zygoma itself projects laterally outwards.
It is upon the effect of a great zygomatic development on the form of the skull that Prichard has founded one of his primary divisions.
Even by taking as the standard of comparison the widest part of the zygomatic arch, the skulls of the lop-eared are proportionally to their breadth three-quarters of an inch too long.
Part of Zygomatic Arch, showing the projecting end of the malar bone and the auditory meatus: of natural size.
In the zygomatic arch the posterior or projecting point of the malar-bone is broader and blunter; and in the specimen, fig.
The molar teeth have increased in size proportionally with the increased width of the skull, measured across the zygomatic arch, and not proportionally with its increased length.
Nor is the prominence of the zygomaticarches such a constant difference in the configuration as to justify one in speaking of the skull as pyramidal.
The braincase is nearly as broad as in the Bornean species, but the zygomatic width is distinctly less.
Similarly the zygomatic breadth slightly exceeds one half of the basilar length, while in Sus cristatus it is less than half.
The skull is immediately recognizable by its general narrowness, but particularly in the region of the anterior zygomatic roots.
Zygomatic arch, the arch of bone beneath the orbit, formed in most mammals by the union of the malar, or jugal, with the zygomatic process of the temporal bone.
Zygomatic process, a process of the temporal or squamosal bone helping to form the zygomatic arch.
Defn: Situated under the zygoma or zygomatic process.
Defn: The space, on either side of the head, back of the eye and forehead, above the zygomatic arch and in front of the ear.
It has small bullae, a short rostrum, widely spreading zygomatic arches anteriorly, and a narrow pterygoid fossa, but does not differ externally from the other specimens.
The skull of one of the five from Trinchera differs from skulls from Two Buttes in much narrower nasals anteriorly, narrower rostrum, much narrower upper incisors, and smaller zygomatic breadth, these characters being as in fallax.
The skulls of the three fully mature adults are large with a wide zygomatic breadth, large rostrum, and large upper incisors as in scopulorum; but the upper molars are small and the bullae are rather small and narrow as in fallax.
They are little depressions that can be felt, as we have already said, by applying the finger along the upper edge of the root of the zygomatic arch.
The auricular point (corresponding to a little depression which may be felt just below the tragus and in correspondence with the zygomatic arches).
In sixteen the zygomaticprocesses were unequal and very prominent.
The zygomatic bar in each genus is stout, laterally compressed, and dorsally convex on both upper and lower margins.
The zygomatic bar in Thrinaxodon extends relatively far forward, is bowed outward and dorsally arched.
The more lateral of these, the masseter, arose from the inner surface and lower margin of the zygomatic bar and inserted on the lateral surface of the coronoid process.
The process extends above the most dorsal point of the zygomatic bar, as in Didelphis.
Zygomatic arches of skull very wide and strong; and sagittal crest high, giving attachment to very powerful biting muscles.
The skull generally is short and rounded, though proportionally more elongated in the larger forms; with the facial portion short and broad, and the zygomaticarches wide and strong.
Skull with the zygomatic arches and sagittal crest immensely developed, ascending branch of lower jaw very high, giving great space for attachment of temporal muscle, and facial portion short.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "zygomatic" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
