| 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.

| parietal border of frontal bone | The margin of the frontal bone that articulates with the parietal bone. Synonym: margo parietalis ossis frontalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| median 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) |
| middle frontal convolution | A convolution on the convexity of each frontal lobe of the cerebrum running in an anteroposterior direction between the superior and inferior frontal sulci. Synonym: gyrus frontalis medius, middle frontal convolution. (05 Mar 2000) |

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 convolution | 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) |
