| gyrus frontalis inferior | A broad convolution on the convexity of the frontal lobe of the cerebrum between the inferior frontal sulcus and the sylvian fissure; divided by branches of the sylvian fissure into three parts: pars (opercularis) basilaris, triangular part, and orbital part; the first two constitute a portion of the frontal operculum. Synonym: gyrus frontalis inferior, inferior frontal convolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| gyrus frontalis medius | 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) |
| gyrus frontalis superior | 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) |
| musculus frontalis | See: occipitofrontalis muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| polus frontalis cerebri | The most anterior promontory of each cerebral hemisphere. Synonym: polus frontalis cerebri, frontal pole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| crista frontalis | A ridge arising at the termination of the sagittal sulcus on the cerebral surface of the frontal bone and ending at the foramen caecum. Synonym: crista frontalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| processus frontalis maxillae | The upward extension from the body of the maxilla, which articulates with the frontal bone. Synonym: nasal process, processus frontalis maxillae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sinus frontalis | One of the paired, but seldom symmetrical, air spaces located between the inner and outer compact layers of the frontal bone. (12 Dec 1998) |
| spina frontalis | S, nasalis ossis frontalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| squama frontalis | The broad curved portion of the frontal bone forming the forehead. Synonym: squama frontalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus frontalis | <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) |
| norma frontalis | The outline of the skull viewed from in front. Synonym: norma anterior, norma frontalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus frontalis inferior | A sagittal fissure on the lateral convex surface of each frontal lobe of the cerebrum demarcating the middle from the inferior frontal gyrus. Synonym: sulcus frontalis inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus frontalis medius | 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) |
| sulcus frontalis superior | 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) |
