voorhoofd

Also known as brow

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 skull above the eyes. The two sides of the forehead are marked by the temporal ridge, a bone feature that links the supraorbital ridge to the coronal suture line and beyond. However, the eyebrows do not form part of the forehead.

AI overview

The forehead is the area on the front of your head bounded by your hairline at the top, the bone ridge above your eyes at the bottom, and the temporal ridges on the sides. It's an important anatomical region that helps define the structure and appearance of the human face.

Het voorhoofd is het deel van het gezicht tussen de oorspronkelijke haarlijn, de wenkbrauwen en de slapen. Zowel bij de mens als bij primaten spreekt men over het voorhoofd. De voorhoofdshuid is vrij dun en het hoofd voelt ter plekke hard aan, omdat daar geen vetweefsel tussen de huid en de schedel zit.
