context_page_description: The zygomatic processes are three processes from other bones of the skull which each articulate with the zygomatic bone. The three processes are:
  Zygomatic process of frontal bone from the frontal bone
  Zygomatic process of maxilla from the maxilla
  Zygomatic process of temporal bone from the temporal bone
  The term zygomatic derives from the Greek Ζυγόμα, zygoma, meaning "yoke". The zygomatic process is occasionally referred to as the zygoma, but this term usually refers to the zygomatic bone or occasionally the zygomatic arch.
context_section_description: The supraorbital margin of the frontal bone ends laterally in its zygomatic process, which is strong and prominent, and articulates with the zygomatic bone. The zygomatic process of the frontal bone extends from the frontal bone laterally and inferiorly.
