| middle frontal sulcus | A relatively shallow sagittal fissure of the brain dividing the middle frontal convolution into an upper and lower part; this sulcus is found only in humans and anthropoid apes; at its anterior extremity it bifurcates, the two branches spreading out laterally and constituting the frontomarginal sulcus. Synonym: median frontal sulcus, sulcus frontalis medius. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| septum of frontal sinuses | The bony partition between the right and left frontal sinuses; it is often deflected to one side of the middle line. Synonym: septum sinuum frontalium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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 margin 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) |
| superior frontal gyrus | A broad convolution running in an anteroposterior direction on the medial edge of the convex surface and of each frontal lobe. Synonym: gyrus frontalis superior, marginal gyrus, superior frontal convolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior frontal sulcus | A sagittal fissure on the superior surface of each frontal lobe of the cerebrum starting from the precentral sulcus; it forms the lateral boundary of the superior frontal convolution. Synonym: sulcus frontalis superior. (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) |
| epilepsy, frontal lobe | Epileptic seizures arising from the frontal lobe characterised by simple partial, complex partial, secondary generalised seizures, or combinations of these. The seizures, which are short in duration, may occur several times a day, mostly during sleep. Affected individuals usually have prominent motor manifestations which are tonic or postural, complex gestational automatisms at the onset, and fall to the ground when the discharge is bilateral. Status epilepticus is a frequent complication. (12 Dec 1998) |
| external surface of frontal bone | The convex outer surface of the frontal bone. Synonym: facies externa ossis frontalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| zygomatic process of frontal bone | The massive projection of the frontal bone that joins the zygomatic bone to form the lateral margin of the orbit. Synonym: processus zygomaticus 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.
