to quote George Carlin - "I'm sure they're the vertical frontal something-or-other! - what the hell are they??"  \n\nI don't know the real name of them, either, but his comedy\nroutine that included that facial feature was hilarious!!

If you mean the nose & mouth, I'm guessing you are probably looking for the philtrum, which is the sort of divot between your nose and the top of your lip.  Commonly people just call that entire area the upper lip.\n\nIf you're interested in surface anatomy, you can look at these sites: http://anatomy.med.umich.edu/surface/head_neck/sinuses.html\nhttp://137.222.110.150/calnet/A Oral Cav1/page3.htm\n\nNeither one is quite a complete reference, but both are reasonably easy to look at.

An epicanthal fold, epicanthic fold or epicanthus is a skin fold of the upper eyelid (from the nose to the inner side of the eyebrow) covering the inner corner (medial canthus) of the human eye. This fold covers and appears to lower the inner corners of the eyes, creating the appearance of "slanted eyes." It is commonly known amongst Asians as "single-eyelids", as opposed to "double eyelids".\n\nThe occurrence of the epicanthic fold is believed to be an evolutionary defense against both the extreme cold as well as the extreme light that occurs in the Eurasian arctic and north. A few have opted to have them minimized by blepharoplasty. Epicanthal folds may also be seen in young children of any race before the bridge of the nose begins to elevate.\n\nThe distribution of epicanthal folds is numerous. It can also be found in significant numbers amongst Native Americans, the Khoisan of Southern Africa, many Central Asians and some people of Sami origin. The presence of epicanthal folds is normal in people of many, though not all, groups of East Asian and Southeast Asian descent. It also occurs sometimes on people of South Asian descent. Children of a parent with a pronounced epicanthal fold and one without an epicanthal fold will have varying degrees of epicanthal folds as a result. Epicanthal folds are also common in people with Down syndrome.

The inferior surface presents, in the middle line, a triangular spine, the sphenoidal ROSTRUM, which is continuous with the sphenoidal crest on the anterior surface, and is received in a deep fissure between the alæ of the vomer. On either side of the rostrum is a projecting lamina, the vaginal process, directed medialward from the base of the medial pterygoid plate, with which it will be described.

Muscles involved in a "zygomatic" (i.e., genuine) smile:\n\nZygomaticus major and minor. These muscles pull up the corners of the mouth. They're bilateral (one set on either side of the face). Total number of muscles: 4.\n\nOrbicularis oculi. One of these muscles encircles each eye and causes crinkling. Total: 2.\n\nLevator labii superioris. Pulls up corner of lip and nose. Bilateral. Total: 2.\n\nLevator anguli oris. Also helps elevate angle of mouth. Bilateral. Total: 2.\n\nRisorius. Pulls corner of mouth to the side. Bilateral. Total: 2. Grand total for smiling: 12.\n\nPrincipal muscles involved in a frown:\n\nOrbicularis oculi (again). Total: 2.\n\nPlatysma. Pulls down lips and wrinkles skin of lower face. Bilateral (though joined at midline). Total: 2.\n\nCorrugator supercilii (bilateral) and procerus (unilateral). Furrow brow. Total: 3.\n\nOrbicularis oris. Encircles mouth; purses lips. Unilateral. Total: 1.\n\nMentalis. Depresses lower lip. Unilateral. Total: 1.\n\nDepressor anguli oris. Pulls corner of mouth down. Bilateral. Total: 2. Grand total for frowning: 11.\n\nDespite the fact that smiling uses more muscles, Song believes it takes less effort than frowning--people tend to smile more frequently, so the relevant muscles are in better shape. You may feel this conclusion assumes a rosier view of the human condition than the facts warrant, but I defer to the doctor. Incidentally, a superficial, homecoming-queen smile requires little more than the two risorius muscles. So if your goal in expressing emotion is really to minimize effort, go for insincere.

It is NOT lip or limp note, but "Lymph Node". ...Lymph nodes or glands are small structures in the lymphatic system that function principally as a barrier to the spread of infection. \n\nTo learn more about lymph nodes see the following sites:

The philtrum is defined by the two slight ridges in the skin that run from the nose to the upper lip. A short philtrum is a shorter-than-normal distance between the upper lip and the nose.\n\nFacial features are characteristics dictated by genetic inheritance. Genetic abnormalities may predispose individuals to changes in features. The length of the philtrum, which is the midline groove that runs from the top of the lip to the nose, is determined genetically. In some syndromes this groove is shortened.\n\nIn short, the philitrum has no function, but rather is a feature which is genetically inherited.

they are called Dimples of Venus or Sacral Dimples... "The two dimples in most everyone's back (historically known as the "dimples of Venus") are where the sacrum joins the hipbones, called the sacroiliac joint"\n\nThe phrase 'dimples of Venus' refers to the pair of sagittally symmetrical indentations sometimes visible on the human lower back, just above to the gluteal cleft. The dimples are directly superficial to the two sacroiliac joints, the sites where the sacrum attaches to the ilium of the pelvis.\n\nThis term, while ostensibly informal, is not strictly slang, but is a historically accepted name within the medical profession for the superficial topography of the sacroiliac joints. \n\nDimples of Venus are rapidly gaining cultural momentum as a feature which men find particularly attractive in females

It's that cool little patch of hair under a guys lower lip.  Usually in a triangle, vertical rectangle or something like a tuft of hair on a big mole.

That sounds like varicose veins. I've got a website you can check out. I know that they are 1. painful! 2. able to be fixed by surgery, and some insurance companies will pay, it is medical as well as cosmetic. Good luck to you.\nhttp://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/ency/varicose_veins.jsp

That vertical crease is called the phrenulum.\n\nIt doesn't really have a 'function'.  As embryos mature there are areas of growth that everntaully fuse together, this is one of those.\nThere are a few benefits to the phrenulum however: firstly, it decreases the turbulance of airflow into the nose, allowing the air to increase its moisturization, which is a good thing.  The other benefit is the same as most other facial features: attractiveness for sexual selection.\nOne fairly common issue around the phrenulum is cleft lip.  This occurs when the phrenulum fails to fuse on one or both sides. \nHope that helps!

They are called definition cuts. They are the lines that outline the muscles.
