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 nerve|zygomaticotemporal]], the latter the [[zygomaticofacial nerve]].
