Frontal scale refers to the scale of a reptile which lies on the top of the head in the region between the eyes. This is analogous to the frontal bone of a human which corresponds to the forehead.{{Cite web |date=2024-09-14 |title=Human skeleton {{!}} Parts, Functions, Diagram, & Facts {{!}} Britannica |url=https://www.britannica.com/science/human-skeleton |access-date=2024-09-25 |website=www.britannica.com |language=en}}
