Glabella

The glabella is the smooth area of bone located on the frontal bone, between the eyebrows and just above the nose. It is typically a slightly flattened or raised area. The prominence of the glabella varies significantly between individuals and can sometimes be a useful feature in skeletal identification, particularly in determining sex. The degree of projection can be influenced by factors such as genetics and hormonal influences. The term "glabella" is derived from the Latin word "glaber," meaning smooth or hairless.
