What name is given to the indentation between your nose and upper lip? A - Philtrum
B - Fraenum
C - Purlicue
D - Dactylion
Answer: A - Philtrum Who knew that the indentation between your upper lip and your nose had a name! Oddly enough, the name "philtrum" is derived from the Latin word for "love potion" as the ancient Greeks believed it to be one of the body's strongest erogenous zones. While many mammals have a philtrum, in humans it seems to serve no true practical purpose. One rather charming tale claims that it is formed when an angel hushes an infant before birth.
