Question 1: glabella

Answer:

the smooth, slightly raised triangular area between and slightly superior to the eyebrows and above the ridge of the nose

Question 2: supraorbital groove, or SOG

Answer:

a slight groove or depression that is slightly above the superciliary ridge above each eye

Question 3: outer canthus

Answer:

the more lateral junction of the eyelids

Question 4: canthi

Answer:

the junctions of the upper and lower eyelids

Question 5: midsagittal, or median, plane (MSP)

Answer:

divides the body into left and right halves; for every AP and PA or lateral projection of the cranium, the midsagittal plane is perpendicular to or parallel to the plane of the IR.

Question 6: auricle, or pinna

Answer:

external portion of the ear; the large flap of ear made of cartilage

Question 7: mentomeatal line (MML)

Answer:

formed by connecting the mental point to the EAM

Question 8: inion

Answer:

the most prominent point of the external occipital protuberance; a posterior extension of the IOML approximates the location of the anion

Question 9: nasion

Answer:

located at the junction of the two nasal bones and the frontal bone

Question 10: lipsmeatal line (LML)

Answer:

a line from the junction of the lips to the EAM

Question 11: orbitomeatal line (OML)

Answer:

located between the outer canthus (midlateral orbital margin) and the EAM

Question 12: auricular point

Answer:

the center point of the EAM opening

Question 13: superciliary ridge (arch)

Answer:

that ridge or arch of bone that extends across the forehead directly above each eye

Question 14: interpupillary (IPL), or interorbintal, line

Answer:

a line that connects the pupils or the outer canthi of the patient's eyes; when head is placed in a true lateral position, the inter-pupillary line must be exactly perpendicular to the plane of the IR.

Question 15: inner canthus

Answer:

where the eyelids meet near the nose

Question 16: tragus

Answer:

the small cartilaginous flap that covers the opening of the ear

Question 17: glabelloalveolar line (GAL)

Answer:

connects the glabella to a point at the anterior aspect of the alveolar process of the maxilla

Question 18: angle, or gonion

Answer:

refers to the lower posterior angle on each side of the jaw or mandible

Question 19: glabellomeatal lie (GML)

Answer:

the most superior positioning line between the glabella and the EAM; slightly above the eyebrow arch

Question 20: infraorbital margin, or IOM

Answer:

the inferior rim of the bony orbit of the eye

Question 21: mental point

Answer:

triangular area of the chin as it appears from the front

Question 22: acanthiomeatal line (AML)

Answer:

formed by connecting the acanthion to the EAM

Question 23: EAM, or external acoustic meatus

Answer:

the opening of the external ear canal

Question 24: TEA

Answer:

refers to the superior attachment of the auricle, or part where the side frames of eyeglasses rest; corresponds to the highest level of the petrous ridge

Question 25: midlateral orbital margin

Answer:

that portion of the lateral rim of the bony orbit of the eye that is near the outer canthus of the eye

Question 26: supraorbital margin, or SOM

Answer:

the superior rim of the bony orbit of the eye

Question 27: infraorbitomeatal line (IOML)

Answer:

formed by connecting the infraorbital margin to the EAM; also known as Reid's base line, or anthropologic base line

Question 28: acanthion

Answer:

the midline point at the junction of the upper lip and the nasal septum; where the nose and upper lip meet
