The glabella is the smooth, flat area between the eyebrows and above the nose. It serves as a reference point for various facial measurements and anthropological studies, particularly in analyzing facial proportions and characteristics. The glabella contains no major muscle attachments but helps form the overall contour of the forehead and upper facial structure.
The term "glabella" comes from the Latin word "glabellus," meaning smooth or hairless. This name directly describes its smooth, bare appearance between the eyebrows.
