What is the anatomical position?
Body standing erect with feet together, palms facing forward, and upper limbs at the side of the body with thumbs pointed away from the body
This position serves as a standard reference point in anatomy.
Define asymmetry.
Lack of symmetry, balance, or proportion
Asymmetry can be seen in various anatomical structures.
What does bilateral refer to?
Two sides
Often used in anatomical contexts to describe paired organs or structures.
What are bilateral differences?
Dissimilarities existing in the two sides or halves of an object
These differences can affect symmetry in facial features.
What is a bilateral view?
View that permits comparison of the two sides or halves of an object
Important for assessing symmetry in restorative art.
What does contour refer to?
Outline or surface form
Contour is crucial for understanding the shape of facial features.
What does concave mean?
Exhibiting a depressed or hollow surface
Commonly used to describe certain facial profiles.
Describe a concave profile.
Basic facial profile form in which the forehead protrudes beyond the eyebrows while the chin protrudes beyond the plane of the upper lip
This profile is often referred to as infantine or retrousse.
What is a concave-convex profile?
Facial profile variation in which the forehead protrudes beyond the eyebrows while the chin recedes from the plane of the upper lip
This profile creates a distinctive facial appearance.
What is a concave-vertical profile?
Facial profile variation in which the forehead protrudes beyond the eyebrows while the chin projects equally to an imaginary contour
This profile is less common than others.
What is the significance of color and texture of the skin in restorative art?
Essentially important for the face
Understanding skin characteristics aids in achieving realistic restorations.
What is a Convex profile?
Basic profile form in which the forehead recedes and the chin is prominent above the upper lip
Define Convex-concave profile.
Profile variation in which the forehead recedes from the eyebrows while the chin protrudes beyond
What characterizes a Convex-vertical profile?
Profile variation in which the forehead recedes while the chin and upper lip project equally to an imaginary coronal plane
What is the Coronal (frontal) plane?
Anatomical plane dividing the anterior of the body from the posterior
What is a Depression (Fossa)?
Hollow or shallow concave area in the surface, also known as Fossa
Describe the Diamond Facial shape.
Facial shape where the cheeks are the widest point, accompanied by a narrowing forehead and chin
What is Eminence in anatomical terms?
Prominence of projection of a bone
What does Facial profile refer to?
Silhouette of the face from the side; external shape
What is the Frontal view?
Anterior view of the face or features
Define Horizontal (transverse) plane.
Plane parallel to the horizon
What does Inclination mean?
Slope, deviation from the horizontal or vertical; oblique
What is meant by ‘beneath’ in anatomical terms?
Lower in plane or position; the under surface of an organ
Describe an Inverted triangle facial shape.
Pointed shape with a wide angular forehead and angular jaw
