The term for the area is derived from the Latinglaber, meaning 'smooth, hairless'.[2]
In medical science
The skin of the glabella may be used to measure skin turgor in suspected cases of dehydration by gently pinching and lifting it. When released, the glabella of a dehydrated patient tends to remain extended ("tented"), rather than returning to its normal shape.[3]
