Fun Fact – Zygomatic Arch

zygo-ff-2

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!

Learn more about the quadraceps femoris muscle in Anatomy Lesson #7: “Jamie’s Thighs” or “Ode to Joy.”

And from Outlander book:

..”but then that ride through the dark together…with that lovely broad arse wedged between my thighs … and that rock-solid head thumping me in the chest ‘I said to myself … Jamie … I said … for all she’s a Sassenach bitch … with a tongue like an adder’s … with a bum like that … what does it matter if she’s a f-face like a sh-sh-sheep?’”

See Claire wedged between Jamie’s thighs in Starz episode 112 Lallybroch.
