Study Notes

Anatomical Terms

Face: region from the eyes to the base of the chin, or from the normal hairline to the base of the chin
Facial blemishes: unusual disfigurements or irregularities of the face, such as moles, warts, scars, birthmarks, pustules, or pock marks
Facial marking: the "character" lines, wrinkles, grooves, cords, and dimples of the face and neck
- Natural: markings found on the face from infancy
- Acquired: markings that develop on the face and neck, usually due to sagging muscles and loss of elasticity of the skin

Facial Features

Facial profile: the silhouette of the face from the side view
Facial proportions: mathematical relationship of the size of the features to each other and/or to the head

Anatomy and Physiology

Fascia: a sheet or band of tissue that invests and connects the muscles
Forearm: area between the elbow and wrist
Forehead: the part of the face above the eyes
Fossa: a depression; concave recess
Foramen magnum: the large opening in the occipital bone

Injuries and Treatments

First-degree burn: an injury caused by heat, producing redness of the skin
Fluid burn: an area of dehydration caused by too strong a concentration of formaldehyde, resulting in darkening of the tissues
Fracture: a broken bone
- Simple fracture: does not pierce the skin
- Compound fracture: two or more fractures in the same or different bones
- Depressed fracture: evidenced by lack of normal surface projection
- Impacted fracture: one bone fragment is driven into another bone fragment
- Linear fracture: one extending lengthwise of the bone
- Multiple fracture: two or more fractures in the same or different bones
- Over-riding fracture: one in which the displaced bone margins overlap

Miscellaneous

Frenulum: the vertical restraining band of flesh on the middle of the inside of each lip, connecting the lip with the gum
Frontal aspect: the anterior view of the face or features
Frontal bone: forehead bone
Frontal eminences: the two rounded prominences on each side of the frontal bone
Frontal process of the maxilla: the ascending part of the upper jaw which gradually protrudes as it rises beside the nasal bone to meet the frontal bone
