Through this there pass the supraorbital nerve and artery. Sometimes (16 per cent, Loja) a series of grooves, radiating upwards and laterally, indicate the course of the nerve (Dixon). Above the supraorbital margin the character of the bone displays marked differences in the two sexes : in the male, above the interval between the two medial angular processes, there is usually a well-marked prominence, called the glabella; from this the fulness extends laterally above the supraorbital margin, varying in degree and extent, and forming the elevations known as the arcus superciliares (superciliary arches). The pro- minence of these naturally reacts on the character of the supraorbital margins, which are thicker and more rounded in the male than in the female. Passing upwards over the glabella, the remains of the suture which originally separated the two halves of the frontal bone can usually be seen; above this point all trace of the suture is generally obliterated. Extending from the zygomatic process is a well - marked ridge, which Frontal tuberosities Temporal surfac Lateral angular process or zygomatic process Supraorbital notch For articulation with nasal bone Temporal line Superciliary arch Glabella and remains of frontal suture Medial angular process Frontal spine Fig. 128.—The Frontal Bone (Anterior View). curves upwards and slightly medially, then, turning backwards, it arches across the lateral aspect of the bone. This is the linea temporalis, which serves to separate the anterior surface of the frontal portion of the bone from its temporal aspect. The latter (facies temporalis) forms the floor of the upper and anterior part of the temporal fossa, and serves for the attachment of the t
