The head is the uppermost part of the human body that contains the brain, sensory organs, and various vital structures. It is situated atop the neck and serves as the main control center for the body. The head includes features such as the face, which comprises the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, allowing for vision, smell, taste, and hearing.

What is a "head"?

A head is the surface of a drum that is struck to produce sound. It is typically made from materials like plastic or animal skin and is stretched over the drum shell. The tension of the head can be adjusted using tension rods or hoops to change the pitch and tone of the drum.

tête

the bubbly layer that forms on the surface of certain drinks, such as beer or other carbonated beverages

What is "head"?

Head refers to the frothy layer that forms on the surface of certain drinks, particularly carbonated beverages like beer. It is created by the release of carbon dioxide gas bubbles during the pouring process. In the case of beer, the head is composed of foam made up of proteins, hop compounds, and other substances in the beer interacting with the carbon dioxide gas. The head plays a significant role in the sensory experience of drinking beer, contributing to its appearance, aroma, and taste. It can vary in thickness, texture, and longevity depending on factors such as the type of beer, pouring technique, and glassware used. A well-formed head is often considered desirable in beer, as it can enhance the beer's aroma and flavor, while also providing a visually appealing presentation.
