Verified step by step guidance

Begin by identifying the location and function of the zygomatic bone. The zygomatic bone, also known as the cheekbone, is located on the lateral side of the face and forms part of the orbit of the eye.

Understand the concept of articulation in anatomy. Articulation refers to the connection between bones that allows for movement or stability. The zygomatic bone articulates with several other bones in the skull.

List the bones that are known to articulate with the zygomatic bone. These include the maxilla, temporal bone, frontal bone, and sphenoid bone. These bones form connections with the zygomatic bone to contribute to the structure of the face and skull.

Consider the anatomical position and structure of the skull to understand why these bones articulate with the zygomatic bone. The maxilla forms the upper jaw and part of the orbit, the temporal bone is located at the sides and base of the skull, the frontal bone forms the forehead, and the sphenoid bone is situated at the base of the skull.

Review the incorrect options provided to reinforce understanding. The hyoid bone, sternum, clavicle, scapula, ethmoid bone, lacrimal bone, vomer, palatine bone, mandible, occipital bone, parietal bone, and nasal bone do not articulate with the zygomatic bone. This helps clarify the specific articulations of the zygomatic bone.
