| frontoposterior position | A cephalic presentation of the foetus with its forehead directed toward the right (right frontoposterior, RFP) or to the left (left frontoposterior, LFP) sacroiliac articulation of the mother. (05 Mar 2000) |

| frontotransverse position | A cephalic presentation of the foetus with its forehead directed toward the right (right frontotransverse, RFT) or to the left (left frontotransverse, LFT) iliac fossa of the mother. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lithotomy position | A supine position with buttocks at the end of the operating table, the hips and knees being fully flexed with feet strapped in position. Synonym: dorsosacral position. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ascending frontal convolution | Bounded posteriorly by the central sulcus and anteriorly by the precentral sulcus. Synonym: gyrus precentralis, anterior central convolution, anterior central gyrus, ascending frontal convolution, ascending frontal gyrus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ascending frontal gyrus | Bounded posteriorly by the central sulcus and anteriorly by the precentral sulcus. Synonym: gyrus precentralis, anterior central convolution, anterior central gyrus, ascending frontal convolution, ascending frontal gyrus. (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. (05 Mar 2000) |

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. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
| middle frontal gyrus | 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) |
