ZONA PELLUCIDA

The zona pellucida is a transparent, striated membrane surrounding the ovum and containing the cytoplasm, which gives the cell its body. The zona pellucida contains numerous pores through which nutrition is passed to the cell. Once the zona pellucida has been penetrated by a sperm the ovum becomes resistant to any other sperm. The surface layer of the zona pellucida then moves out to engulf the sperm. The cell membranes of the sperm and egg fuse so that they constitute a single cell called a zygote.

ZYGOMATIC BONES

Picture of Zygomatic Bones

The zygomatic or malar bones form the cheek and the lower, outside rim of the orbits. The temporal process of the zygomatic bone curves around the side of the skull to meet the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, forming the zygomatic arch. The upper, frontal part of the zygomatic bone, forming the outer rim of the orbit and meeting the frontal bone, is called the frontal process, while the orbital surface defines the smooth, lower and outer wall of the orbital cavity. Each zygomatic bone features a zygomaticofacial foramen, or opening, into the bone near the lower corner of the orbit.

It is supplied by the facial artery and innervated by the facial nerve (VII cranial nerve) This muscle lies just in front of the zygomaticus major muscle and draws the upper lip backward, upward and outward and is used in expressing sadness.
