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)

It's Premier Who?
A FORMER garbage collector, Nathan Rees, was elected Premier of NSW yesterday after Morris Iemma's once loyal backers turned on him and forced him to quit, leaving the little-known Mr Rees to declare: "I'll have a red-hot go."
How the Right turned on its own man
MORRIS IEMMA was beaming as he entered the caucus room at 12.40pm yesterday, flanked by his departing deputy, John Watkins.
First verse: mea culpa, blame Costa
NATHAN REES yesterday used his first public statement as the new Premier to guarantee that he would devote every "waking hour" to restoring faith in his beleaguered Government, admitting taxpayers had been left bitterly disappointed with Labor's efforts.
Breaking the Labor mould
The new Premier has touches of another Labor leader born and raised in Sydney's western suburbs, report Matthew Moore and Gerard Noonan.
State of chaos
Michael Costa was never going out with a whimper, but his big bang was soon overshadowed by a perfect storm, writes Andrew West.
