The glabella is the normally hairless area of skin between the eyebrows. It lies above the root of the nose at the level of the supraorbital bony prominences. It marks the most anterior point of the forehead in the median plane.
The terms "glabella" and "nasal root" are often used interchangeably, although this is not entirely correct.
2. Background[Bearbeiten]
Other landmarks of the face include the porion, gnathion, nasion, basion, gonion and zygion.
