The space between your eyebrows is called what?

The space between your eyebrows is called the glabella. In everyday anatomy, it is the skin-covered area between the eyebrows and immediately above the bridge of the nose.

The word also refers to the underlying part of the frontal bone, which lies between the brow ridges. In medical and dental measurements, the glabella is a useful landmark for describing facial proportions and locating other points on the skull. The adjective “glabellar” means relating to this region.

Its name comes from the Latin word glabellus, meaning “smooth” or “hairless.” The area is also involved in facial expression because muscles around the brow can draw the eyebrows together, producing a frown. The glabella is sometimes mentioned in clinical examinations, including discussion of the glabellar reflex, though it is not the same thing as the nose, forehead, or eyebrow itself.
