It articulates with the maxilla, the temporal (to meet zygomatic process), sphenoid as well as the frontal bone of the face. It also forms the lower and lateral part of orbital margin.

    The bone that is present just below the eye, forming a part of eye orbit is called zygomatic bone.

    Explanation:

    1. It forms the "prominence" of the cheek along with the muscle zygomaticus.

    2. This zygomatic bone is articulated with the maxilla on bottom, the temporal on lateral sides and frontal on its upper end. It forms the "lower part" of the orbit of eye.

    3. This is also called as cheekbone. Its structure depends from species to species and race to race. It's a symbol of beauty for both "males and females".
