Preferred Label : orbital gyrus;
Uberon definition : The inferior or orbital surface of the frontal lobe is concave, and rests on the orbital
plate of the frontal bone. It is divided into four orbital gyri by a well-marked H-shaped
orbital sulcus. These are named, from their position, the medial, anterior, lateral,
and posterior orbital gyri. The medial orbital gyrus presents a well-marked antero-posterior
sulcus, the olfactory sulcus, for the olfactory tract; the portion medial to this
is named the straight gyrus, and is continuous with the superior frontal gyrus on
the medial surface.;
