Verified step by step guidance

Begin by identifying the location of the forehead on the human skull. The forehead is the area above the eyes and below the hairline.

Understand that the human skull is composed of several bones, each with specific names and locations. The key bones to consider here are the frontal, occipital, temporal, and parietal bones.

The frontal bone is located at the front of the skull and forms the forehead. It is a single bone that extends from the top of the eye sockets to the top of the skull.

The occipital bone is located at the back of the skull, forming the base of the cranium. It does not contribute to the forehead.

The temporal bones are located on the sides of the skull, near the ears, and the parietal bones are located on the top and sides of the skull. Neither of these bones forms the forehead.
