| squamous border of parietal bone | The lateral border of the parietal bone that articulates with the squamous part of the temporal bone. Synonym: margo squamosus ossis parietalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| internal surface of parietal bone | The concave surface of the parietal bone forming part of the wall of the cranial cavity. Synonym: facies interna ossis parietalis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| blind foramen of frontal bone | <anatomy> Blind or caecal foramen of the frontal bone; the blind foramen formed immediately anterior to the crista galli by a notch at the lower end of the frontal crest and its articulation with the ethmoid bone. It is insignificant postnatally, but gives passage to vessels during development. Synonym: foramen caecum ossis frontalis, blind foramen of frontal bone, caecal foramen of frontal bone.

| squamous part of frontal bone | The broad curved portion of the frontal bone forming the forehead. Synonym: squama frontalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nasal border of frontal bone | The border of the frontal bone that articulates with the nasal bones. Synonym: margo nasalis ossis frontalis, nasal margin of frontal bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nasal part of frontal bone | Nasal portion of the frontal bone which lies between the two orbital parts anteriorly and forms part of the roof of the nasal cavity. Synonym: pars nasalis ossis frontalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nasal spine of frontal bone | A projection from the centre of the nasal part of the frontal bone, which lies between and articulates with the nasal bones and the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid. Synonym: spina nasalis ossis frontalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
