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 – Quadriceps
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.
