| 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) |
| internal surface of frontal bone | The surface of the frontal bone that contributes to the wall of the cranial cavity. Synonym: facies interna ossis frontalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| orbital part of frontal bone | The portion of the frontal bone that contributes to the formation of the orbits; the most rostral of three cortical convolutions that togetther form the inferior frontal gyrus. Synonym: pars orbitalis ossis frontalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| external surface of frontal bone | The convex outer surface of the frontal bone. Synonym: facies externa ossis frontalis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| foramen caecum 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.

| frontal bone | The large single bone forming the forehead and the upper margin and roof of the orbit on either side; it articulates with the parietal, nasal, ethmoid, maxillary, and zygomatic bones, and with the lesser wings of the sphenoid. Synonym: os frontale, coronale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| frontal border of parietal bone | The margin of the parietal bone that articulates with the frontal bone. Synonym: margo frontalis ossis parietalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| frontal border of sphenoid bone | The margin of the greater wing of the sphenoid bon that articulates with the frontal bone. Synonym: margo frontalis ossis sphenoidalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| frontal process of zygomatic bone | The process of the zygomatic bone which extends upward to form the lateral margin of the orbit and articulates with the frontal bone and greater wing of the sphenoid bone. Synonym: frontosphenoidal process, processus frontalis ossis zygomatici. (05 Mar 2000) |
