Anatomical terminology [edit on Wikidata] |
The zygomaticotemporal suture (or temporozygomatic suture) is the cranial suture between the zygomatic bone and the temporal bone.[1] This is part of the zygomatic arch.[1] Movement at the suture decreases with development during aging.[1] It has a complex internal structure.[1]
