What do the Zygomatic (Malar) bones form?

  1. The upper cheek and bottom of the eye socket

  2. The lower jaw

  3. The forehead area

  4. The nasal cavity

The correct answer is: The upper cheek and bottom of the eye socket

The zygomatic bones, also known as the malar bones, are key structures in the facial skeleton. They are located on the sides of the face and contribute to the formation of the cheek area, as well as the lateral walls and floor of the eye socket (orbital cavity). By forming the upper part of the cheeks and the edges of the eye sockets, these bones play a crucial role in both aesthetics and function, including providing support for the soft tissues of the face and protecting the structures of the eye. The other choices represent different anatomical structures: the lower jaw is formed by the mandible, the forehead area is created by the frontal bone, and the nasal cavity is primarily formed by the nasal bones and surrounding structures. Therefore, the zygomatic bones specifically relate to the formation of the upper cheeks and the bottom of the eye sockets.
