The frontalis muscle (from Latin 'frontal muscle') is a muscle which covers parts of the forehead of the skull. Some sources consider the frontalis muscle to be a distinct muscle. However, Terminologia Anatomica currently classifies it as part of the occipitofrontalis muscle along with the occipitalis muscle. [2]
orbicularis oculi, orbital part head, forehead/eyelid (left/right) frontal bone: lateral palpebral raphe: ophthalmic artery, zygomatico-orbital artery, angular artery: facial nerve [CNVII], zygomatic branch: closes eyelids (voluntary, winking/squeezing) levator palpebrae superioris: 2 3 orbicularis oculi, palpebral part head, forehead/eyelid ...
the occipital belly, near the occipital bone. [1] It originates on the lateral two-thirds of the highest nuchal line, and on the mastoid process of the temporal bone. [2] It inserts into the epicranial aponeurosis. [2] the frontal belly, near the frontal bone. [1] It originates from an intermediate tendon that connects to the occipital belly. [2]
The cranial region includes the upper part of the head while the; facial region includes the lower half of the head beginning below the ears. The forehead is referred to as the frontal region. The eyes are referred to as the orbital or ocular region. The cheeks are referred to as the buccal region. The ears are referred to as the auricle or ...
The frontal bone is one of the principal paired mid-line bones in dinosaur skulls. This bone is part of the skull roof, which is a set of bones that cover the brain, eyes and nostrils. The frontal makes contact with several other bones in the skull. The anterior part of the bone articulates with the nasal bone and the prefrontal bone. The ...
The facial skeleton comprises the facial bones that may attach to build a portion of the skull. [1] The remainder of the skull is the neurocranium.. In human anatomy and development, the facial skeleton is sometimes called the membranous viscerocranium, which comprises the mandible and dermatocranial elements that are not part of the braincase.
In human anatomy, the forehead is an area of the head bounded by three features, two of the skull and one of the scalp. The top of the forehead is marked by the hairline, the edge of the area where hair on the scalp grows. The bottom of the forehead is marked by the supraorbital ridge, the bone feature of the
The head rests on the top part of the vertebral column, with the skull joining at C1 (the first cervical vertebra known as the atlas). The skeletal section of the head and neck forms the top part of the axial skeleton and is made up of the skull, hyoid bone, auditory ossicles, and cervical spine. The skull can be further subdivided into:
