| fascia temporalis | The fascia covering the temporal muscle; it is composed of two layers, lamina superficialis and lamina profunda; both attach above to the superior temporal line but diverge inferiorly to attach to the lateral and medial surfaces of the zygomatic arch. Synonym: fascia temporalis, temporal aponeurosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lamina profunda fasciae temporalis | The deep part of the temporal fascia attaching to the medial surface of the zygomatic arch. Synonym: lamina profunda fasciae temporalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lamina superficialis fasciae temporalis | The superficial part of the temporal fascia attaching to the lateral surface of the zygomatic arch. Synonym: lamina superficialis fasciae temporalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fossa temporalis | The space on the side of the cranium bounded by the temporal lines and terminating below at the level of the zygomatic arch. Synonym: fossa temporalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| linea temporalis inferior | The lower of two curved lines on the parietal bone; it marks the outer limit of attachment of the temporalis muscle. Synonym: linea temporalis inferior, temporal ridge. (05 Mar 2000) |
| linea temporalis superior | The upper of two curved lines on the parietal bone; the temporal fascia is attached to it. Synonym: linea temporalis superior, temporal ridge. (05 Mar 2000) |
