tetrapod frontal bone

The bone forming the forehead and roof of the eye orbit. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the tetrapod frontal bone is

The bone forming the forehead and roof of the eye orbit. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the tetrapod frontal bone is

It sits in the head, within the skeletal system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What the tetrapod frontal bone connects to

The atlas records 32 typed relationships for it, across 8 kinds of connection. part of axial skeletal system, craniocervical region and head, and 2 more.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the tetrapod frontal bone. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as frontal, frontal bone, os frontal and os frontale. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the tetrapod frontal bone?

It sits in the head, within the skeletal system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What does the tetrapod frontal bone connect to?

Part of: axial skeletal system, craniocervical region, head, neurocranium and subdivision of skeleton.

Is the tetrapod frontal bone the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
