Study Notes
Chin Characteristics
- The size and form of the chin are primarily determined by the musculature, not just the bony system.
- A square form of the chin is characterized by muscle dominance.
- A downward-pointing shape of the chin is characterized by a predominance of adipose tissue.
- A "sharp" chin that projects forward is a result of the dominance of bony structure, not adipose tissue.
Test your knowledge on the physiognomy of the chin with this quiz. Learn about the different forms and what they indicate about bone, muscle, and adipose tissue dominance. Explore the characteristics of a square, oval, and spherical (globose) chin, and discover what a "sharp" chin signifies.
