eyebrows
Face's expressive ridges
Eyebrows are the strips of hair growing above each eye, following the curve of the brow bone.
They help keep sweat and debris from the eyes and play a major role in facial expression—raised eyebrows signal surprise, furrowed ones concentration or anger.
To raise eyebrows is to cause surprise or mild shock: Her comments raised a few eyebrows at the meeting.
