- For other uses of the word head, see head (disambiguation).
In anatomy, the head of an animal is the rostral part (from anatomical position) that usually comprises the brain, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth (all of which aid in various sensory functions, such as sight, hearing, smell, and taste). Some very simple animals may not have a head, but many bilaterally symmetric forms do.
Anatomy in humans
The front (ventrum) of the head, where the eyes, ears, nose and mouth are located, is called the face. The area above the eyes is called the forehead (the front of the head). Below the mouth is the chin.
Younger aged humans and some older humans' heads have a continuously growing layer of hair covering the head. Most females of the human race do not lose this covering during the aging process, however some males can lose their head hair as they grow older. (See Baldness)
