Learn more about the zygomatic arch (cheek bone) in Anatomy Lesson #8, “Jamie Takes a Beating and Claire’s Healing Touch!”
And from Outlander book:
Looking at that strong, young, determined face, with its broad cheekbones and solid jaw, I felt for the first time that this preposterous scheme of Dougal’s might actually have been a reasonable suggestion…
The broad cheekbones and long, straight, knife edged nose were plainly a MacKenzie inheritance.
Watch Claire pat the swollen flesh (Ha!) over Jamie’s left zygomatic arch after his beating in the great hall, Starz episode 102, Castle Leoch!
A deeply grateful,
Outlander Anatomist
