RA II test 1

The ears change less in lifetime than any other facial feature.
(Although the lobe does get longer with age.)
 
The left and right ears of an individual are not exactly the same.
 
One ear is usually higher than the other.
 
In cosmetology the ears are considered a warm color area.
 
Pinna is the Latin word for the ear
 
The ear is said to be in the shape of a question mark.
 
The width of the ear is approximately 2/3rds the length of the ear.
 
The ear is 1/3 the length of the face.
 
The front border of the ear is aligned with the front border of the ear passage.
 
The ear is basically a wedge shaped structure

The opening of the ear passage.

The outer rim of the ear.

The beginning of the outer rim lying in the concha.

The inner rim of the ear.

The two branches of the inner rim.

The shallow, three sided depression between the two branches of the inner rim.

The shallowest depression lying between the inner and outer rim.

The concave shell behind and above the ear passage.  The concha occupies the middle-third of the ear.

The small eminence rising from the cheek and protecting the ear passage.

The small eminence on the upper margin of the lobe.

The hollow inlet between the tragus and antitragus; situated anteriorly on the upper border of the lobe.

The fatty inferior third of the ear.

the front border of the ear is aligned with the front border of the ear passage.

this guide divides the length of the ear in to approximate halves

this guide lies directly anterior to the ear passage

this guide lies inferior and posterior to the ear passage  where it is hidden from view by the lobe of the ear.

the nose is basically a pyramid wedge shape

the nose generally has to be restored more times than any other feature
 
the nose, more than any other feature, tends to display family characteristics

the nose is the dominant feature of the face

accurate recreation is more essential than with any other feature

the root of the nose creates the upper limit for the length of the nose

the nasal spur creates the lower limits

the forehead eminence on the lower portion of the frontal bone just superior to the root of the nose

the anterior ridge of the nose composed of three parts; the root, the bridge, the protruding lobe

the concave dip below the glabella at the articulation of the frontal and nasal bones

the dome like structure over the upper part of the nasal cavity and formed by the nasal bones

the spherical area forming the inferior part of the dorsum it adjoins the wings and the columna nasi, it includes the tip of the nose which is the point of greatest projection

the wings are the lateral lobes of the nose which lie between the protruding lobe and the cheeks

the inferior margin of the wing which displays a concave arc

the lateral walls of the nose bounded by the bridge, the cheeks, and the wings

the angular depression located at the posterior margin of the wing and the superior end of the nasolabial fold

the opening of the nostrils in the base of the nose

the visible portion of the septum referred to as the superficial partition between the nostrils also considered the most inferior part of the nose

the vertical cartilage of the nose it divides the nasal cavity to make two relatively equal chambers

the points of reference are:
the root, the bridge, and the protruding lobe

there are three profile views of the nose (index)

(aka grecian profile) this is the most common nasal profile all three points of reference (the dorsum) are in a straight line

(aka the infantile nose, pug nose, or button nose, retrousse, or snub) the protruding lobe turns up on the end

(aka the roman nose or the aquiline nose) sometimes referred to as a hook or hooked nose the convexity may be continuous from root to tip

three racial classifications of the human nose

etymology: lepto - thin and straight;  rhino - nose
this type of nose is described as long, straight, and narrow it is prominent at the bridge

etymology:  platy - broad and flat;  rhino - nose
described as a shorter nose with a minimal projection at the bridge and broad at the base

etymology: meso - middle, medium;  rhino - nose
this profile is considered to be intermediate it is shorter than leptorrhine, it is narrower than platyrrhine
