What is "temple"?
The temple is the flattened area on the side of the head, just above the cheekbone and in front of the ear. It is located on both sides of the face and is often characterized by a slight indentation or hollow. The temple region is composed of various tissues, including skin, muscle, and bone. It serves as an important anatomical landmark and is also known for its sensitivity, as it is closer to the surface of the skull and houses some major blood vessels. The temples are involved in facial expressions, such as squinting or raising the eyebrows, and are often associated with tension or pressure sensations, particularly during headaches or sinus-related discomfort.
