👉 The term "parosteal" is a medical term which refers to a specific type of bone that develops in the front part of the skull, usually on the top of the backside of the skull. This process is known as ossification and it's characterized by the formation of new bone. The parosteal bones are called vertebrae (vertebral columns) because they come together at the base of the spine to form a long column that supports the head and neck.
