Fun Fact – Zygomatic Arch
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!

Fun Fact – Borborygmi
Learn more about borborygmi in Anatomy Lesson #16: Jamie’s Belly or Scottish Six-Pack!
And from Outlander book:
I wasn’t at all thirsty, but the faint scent of honey reminded me that I was starving, and had been for some time. My stomach gave an embarrassingly loud growl, protesting my neglect. “Hey, then, Jamie-lad! Hungry, are ye? Or have ye a set of bagpipes with ye?” shouted Rupert, mistaking the source of the noise. “Hungry enough to eat a set of pipes, I reckon,” called Jamie, gallantly assuming the blame. A moment later, a hand with a flask came around in front of me again. “Better have a wee nip,” he whispered to me. “It willna fill your belly, but it will make ye forget you’re hungry.”
See Jamie stave off Claire’s borborygmi in Outlander, Starz, episode 101: Sassenach!
