| zygomatic nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the maxillary nerve in the inferior orbital fissure through which it passes; it gives rise to two sensory branches, the zygomaticotemporal and zygomaticofacial, which supply the skin of the temporal and zygomatic regions and is continued as the communicating branch of the lacrimal nerve with the zygomatic nerve. Synonym: nervus zygomaticus, orbital nerve, temporomandibular nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |

| zygomaticofacial branch of zygomatic nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Penetrates zygomatic bone to supply skin of face over zygoma or cheekbone. Synonym: ramus zygomaticofacialis nervi zygomatici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| zygomaticotemporal branch of zygomatic nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Penetrates frontal process of zygomatic bone to supply skin of face lateral to orbit. Synonym: ramus zygomaticotemporalis nervi zygomatici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| zygomatic region | The region of the face outlined by the zygomatic bone; the prominence above the cheek. Synonym: regio zygomatica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lesser zygomatic muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, zygomatic bone posterior to zygomaticomaxillary suture; insertion, orbicularis oris of upper lip; action, draws upper lip upward and outward; nerve supply, facial. Synonym: musculus zygomaticus minor, caput zygomaticum quadrati labii superioris, lesser zygomatic muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |

| ascending frontal convolution | Bounded posteriorly by the central sulcus and anteriorly by the precentral sulcus. Synonym: gyrus precentralis, anterior central convolution, anterior central gyrus, ascending frontal convolution, ascending frontal gyrus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ascending frontal gyrus | Bounded posteriorly by the central sulcus and anteriorly by the precentral sulcus. Synonym: gyrus precentralis, anterior central convolution, anterior central gyrus, ascending frontal convolution, ascending frontal gyrus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| median frontal sulcus | A relatively shallow sagittal fissure of the brain dividing the middle frontal convolution into an upper and lower part; this sulcus is found only in humans and anthropoid apes; at its anterior extremity it bifurcates, the two branches spreading out laterally and constituting the frontomarginal sulcus. Synonym: median frontal sulcus, sulcus frontalis medius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle frontal convolution | A convolution on the convexity of each frontal lobe of the cerebrum running in an anteroposterior direction between the superior and inferior frontal sulci. Synonym: gyrus frontalis medius, middle frontal convolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle frontal gyrus | A convolution on the convexity of each frontal lobe of the cerebrum running in an anteroposterior direction between the superior and inferior frontal sulci. Synonym: gyrus frontalis medius, middle frontal convolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle frontal sulcus | A relatively shallow sagittal fissure of the brain dividing the middle frontal convolution into an upper and lower part; this sulcus is found only in humans and anthropoid apes; at its anterior extremity it bifurcates, the two branches spreading out laterally and constituting the frontomarginal sulcus. Synonym: median frontal sulcus, sulcus frontalis medius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septum of frontal sinuses | The bony partition between the right and left frontal sinuses; it is often deflected to one side of the middle line. Synonym: septum sinuum frontalium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior frontal convolution | A broad convolution running in an anteroposterior direction on the medial edge of the convex surface and of each frontal lobe. Synonym: gyrus frontalis superior, marginal gyrus, superior frontal convolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior frontal gyrus | A broad convolution running in an anteroposterior direction on the medial edge of the convex surface and of each frontal lobe. Synonym: gyrus frontalis superior, marginal gyrus, superior frontal convolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
