What is the name for the ridge of bone directly above the eyes?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

When identifying anatomical landmarks, the description must match the location on the skull. 
Option 1: 'supraorbital ridge.' This term refers to the ridge located just above the eye sockets (the supraorbital area on the frontal bone), fitting the description precisely.
Option 2: 'zygomatic arch.' The zygomatic arch is the cheekbone extending forward to the temple region, not a ridge directly above the orbits, so this is not the correct identification for the described feature.
Option 3: 'occipital ridge.' The occipital region is at the back of the skull, near the occipital bone, far from the area above the eyes; thus this option describes a location unrelated to the asked feature.
Option 4: 'saggital keel.' A sagittal keel is a midline ridge along the top of some skulls and does not correspond to the area directly above the eye sockets, making it an incorrect choice for this question.
