Overview
On the orbital process of the zygomatic bone are seen the orifices of two canals, the zygomatico-orbital foramina.
One of these canals opens into the temporal fossa, the other on the malar surface of the bone.
The former transmits the zygomaticotemporal, the latter the zygomaticofacial nerve.
