Name the wrinkle between your nose and mouth?
Dot, dot, comma, line - the moon face is ready. It's not that simple, the human face is very complex. Forehead, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, cheeks - you are all familiar with these structures. The anatomy of the face is not limited to this either. What else there is to discover in human facial structures, such as the fold between Nose and mouth are called, how they are created and much more can be found below Items.
A fold below the nose
- Popularly known as "Rotzrinne", the anatomical Latin term for this facial structure is between the nose and mouth "Philtrum". The name is derived from the Greek term "φίλτρον" [philtron], which means something like "love spell", "love substance" or "love potion". The lowest end of the philtrum forms part of the "Cupid's Arch". All terms that are related to love in this regard are from the ancient Greeks attributed to the philtrum as the most stimulating and delightful "love point" of the body looked at.
- Nor is it actually a fold. Rather, it is a vertical groove that extends from the nose to the upper lip. It arises during embryonic development when the facial skin grows together.
Do not confuse it with the nasolabial folds
The nasolabial folds are the facial folds created by the nose, more precisely, from the upper protrusion of the nostrils on both sides to the corners of the mouth. They are individually and differently pronounced for everyone. They can vary in shape, depth and length. The shape of the facial muscles, the thickness of the subcutaneous fatty tissue and also the age of the person have an influence on the shape.
Cupid's bow on his mouth
The cupid's bow mentioned above is the upper border of the red upper lip, which has the same shape as that of the hunting weapon "bow". It is also known as the cupid bow. The reference to the Roman god of love "Amor" or the desire "cupido" arises again, because the lips also represent erogenous zones due to their high nerve density.
