nasion

The nasion is an anatomical point on the skull located at the intersection where the nasal bones meet the frontal bone, right between the eyes. It’s often used as a reference point in anatomy, anthropology, and orthodontics to measure facial structure and assess proportions. Think of it as the "bridge" point of the nose’s root, helping professionals locate and analyze facial features accurately. Its position is important for understanding facial growth, planning surgeries, or creating facial reconstructions.
