	~~==Anatomy~~ of the ~~Forehead==~~		The '''forehead''' is an anatomical feature of the human body, located at the upper part of the face. It is the area between the [[hairline]] and the [[eyebrows]], extending laterally to the [[temples]]. The forehead plays a significant role in facial expressions and is a key area in [[aesthetic]] and [[reconstructive surgery]].

	The forehead is made up of the [[frontal bone]], which is a part of the [[skull]]. The skin of the forehead is thicker than the rest of the face and contains a large number of [[sebaceous glands]], which produce [[sebum]], an oily substance that helps to keep the skin moisturized and protected.		== Anatomy ==

	The forehead is ~~also home to~~ the [[~~frontalis muscle~~]], which ~~allows for a wide range~~ of ~~facial expressions, including raising~~ the ~~eyebrows and wrinkling the forehead~~. ~~This muscle~~ is ~~controlled by~~ the [[~~facial nerve~~]], which is the ~~seventh [[cranial nerve]]~~.		The forehead is primarily composed of the [[frontal bone]], which forms the anterior part of the [[skull]]. The frontal bone is a single bone in adults, but it originates from two separate bones that fuse during early childhood. The forehead also includes the [[frontal sinuses]], which are air-filled cavities that help reduce the weight of the skull and contribute to the resonance of the voice.

	~~==Functions~~ of the ~~Forehead==~~		The skin of the forehead is relatively thin and contains numerous [[sebaceous glands]], which can make it prone to [[acne]] and other skin conditions. Beneath the skin, the [[frontalis muscle]] is responsible for raising the eyebrows and creating horizontal forehead wrinkles.

	The forehead serves several important functions. It protects the [[brain]] and the [[frontal lobes]], which are responsible for a variety of cognitive functions, including [[problem solving]], [[decision making]], and [[emotional control]]. The forehead also plays a key role in [[human communication]], as it is involved in the expression of a wide range of emotions.		== Function ==

	~~==Health and the Forehead==~~		The forehead serves several functions:

	The ~~health of~~ the ~~forehead can be affected by a variety of conditions.~~ [[~~Acne~~]] and [[~~rosacea~~]] are ~~common skin conditions that can affect the~~ forehead. ~~Other conditions that can affect~~ the forehead ~~include [[headaches]]~~, ~~[[migraines]]~~, and ~~[[sinusitis]]~~. ~~In addition,~~ the forehead ~~can be affected by [[trauma]] or injury,~~ such as a [[~~concussion~~]] or [[~~fracture~~]].		* '''Protection''': The frontal bone provides protection for the [[brain]] and the [[frontal lobes]], which are involved in complex cognitive functions such as reasoning, planning, and problem-solving.
			* '''Expression''': The forehead is crucial for non-verbal communication. Movements of the eyebrows and forehead muscles convey emotions such as surprise, anger, and concern.
			* '''Aesthetics''': The shape and size of the forehead contribute to the overall appearance of the face. It is a focus in cosmetic procedures such as [[forehead lifts]] and [[botox]] injections.

	==~~See Also~~==		== Clinical Significance ==

			The forehead can be affected by various medical conditions, including:

			* '''Trauma''': Injuries to the forehead can result in [[lacerations]], [[contusions]], or [[fractures]] of the frontal bone.
			* '''Skin Conditions''': The forehead is a common site for [[dermatological]] issues such as [[seborrheic dermatitis]], [[psoriasis]], and [[melanoma]].
			* '''Headaches''': Tension-type headaches often manifest as pain in the forehead region.
