facial anatomy
Features of visage
Facial anatomy refers to the structure and arrangement of features on the human face—bones, muscles, skin, nerves, and sensory organs.
The term appears in medical and artistic contexts: surgeons study facial anatomy to plan procedures; artists learn it to render portraits accurately.
Understanding facial anatomy helps explain how expressions form.
