In human anatomy, the forehead or brow is the bony part of the head above the eyes.
Anatomy[edit | edit source]
In modern humans it is roughly vertical, ending at the hairline where the head flattens out. Muscles of the forehead include the frontalis, which moves and contracts the forehead's scalp.
Pronunciation[edit | edit source]
Historically, the word has rhymed with "horrid" RP: Template:IPA, General American: Template:IPA, but the spelling pronunciation RP: Template:IPA, GenAm: Template:IPA has become more common in recent years.
