Question

What is the name of the bone in the forehead?

Answer 1

The skull is a bony structure that supports the structures of the face. It also forms a cavity for the brain. The skull is made up of two parts:
- Cranium
- Mandible

Complete answer:
The forehead is a region of the head. The forehead is bound by two skull features and one scalp feature. The apex of the forehead is denoted by the hairline. The temporal ridge marks the two sides of the forehead.
The frontal bone is a major bone of the human skull. It contains two parts. The two parts are:
- The vertical squamous part
- The horizontal orbital part.
The frontal bone is the bone in the forehead. Part of the orbital cavity of the frontal bone holds the eyes and part of it holds the nose.
The squamous part of the frontal bone is vertical and flat. It is the biggest part of the frontal bone. The squamous part is the main region of the forehead. The orbital part is the horizontal part of the frontal bone. It is also the second biggest part of the frontal bone. The orbital part forms the roof of the orbital and nasal cavities.

Note:
The origin of the frontal bone is from the neural crest cells. The frontal bone consists of two parts at birth and is separated by the frontal suture. The frontal suture is erased through the process of intramembranous ossification by the age of eight.
