| frontal lobe | The frontal lobes are responsible for higher cognitive thought processes. (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| frontal lobe epilepsy | A localization-related epilepsy with seizures originating in the frontal lobe. A variety of clinical syndromes exist depending on the exact localization of seizures and clinical semiology of the seizure type. Frontal lobe epilepsies have been divided into several specific syndromes including the syndrome of supplementary motor seizures, cingulate seizures, anterior frontal polar region seizures, orbital frontal seizures, dorsolateral seizures, opercular seizures, and seizures of the motor cortex.

| frontal lobe of cerebrum | The portion of each cerebral hemisphere anterior to the central sulcus. Synonym: lobus frontalis cerebri, frontal lobe. (05 Mar 2000) |
| frontal margin | Edge of a bone which articulates with the frontal bone. See: frontal border of parietal bone, frontal border of sphenoid bone. Synonym: margo frontalis, frontal margin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| frontal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the ophthalmic nerve which divides within the orbit into the supratrochlear and the supraorbital nerves. Synonym: nervus frontalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| frontal notch | A small notch, sometimes a foramen, on the orbital margin of the frontal bone medial to the supraorbital notch. Synonym: incisura frontalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| frontal part of corpus callosum | Frontal radiation of the corpus callosum; that part of the fibre radiation of the corpus callosum which bends forward toward the frontal pole of the cerebrum. Synonym: forceps minor, forceps anterior, frontal part of corpus callosum, pars frontalis corporis callosi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| frontal plane | A vertical plane at right angles to a sagittal plane, dividing the body into anterior and posterior portions. Synonym: frontal plane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| frontal plate | In the foetus, a cartilage plate between the lateral parts of ethmoid cartilage and the developing sphenoid bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| frontal pole | The most anterior promontory of each cerebral hemisphere. Synonym: polus frontalis cerebri, frontal pole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| frontal pole of cerebrum | The most anterior promontory of each cerebral hemisphere. Synonym: polus frontalis cerebri, frontal pole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| frontal process of maxilla | The upward extension from the body of the maxilla, which articulates with the frontal bone. Synonym: nasal process, processus frontalis maxillae. (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) |
| frontal region of head | The surface region of the head corresponding to the outlines of the frontal bone. Synonym: regio frontalis capitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| frontal section | A cross section attained by slicing, actually or through imaging techniques, the body or any part of the body or any anatomic structure in the coronal or frontal plane, i.e., in a vertical plane perpendicular to the median or sagittal plane. Since actual sectioning in the coronal plane results in an anterior and a posterior portion, an anatomical coronal section may be a two-dimensional view of the cut surface of the posterior aspect of the anterior portion, or of the anterior aspect of the posterior portion. Synonym: frontal section. (05 Mar 2000) |
