Morphology
The study of form without regard to function
Norms
Typical size, shape, location of facial features
Normal expectancy
Proportion
Comparative measurements of different parts of a whole
Deviation
Standard departure from the norm, not a deformity
All people have some deviations
Anomaly

Projection
A feature that extends outward
Recession
A withdraw from a position (not a depression)
Inclination
Slant, slope, angle
Convex
Outward curvature
Concave

The face
- Symmetrical
