The '''face''' is a central [[sense]] organ complex, for those [[animals]] that have one, normally on the ventral [[surface]] of the head, and can depending on the definition in the [[human]] case, include the hair, forehead, eyebrow, eyelashes, eyes, nose, ears, cheeks, mouth, lips, philtrum, teeth, skin, and chin. The face has uses of [[expression]], [[appearance]], and [[identity]] amongst others. It also has different [[senses]] like olfaction, taste, hearing, and [[vision]].

==Individuality and recognition==

==Individuality and recognition==

The face is the feature which best distinguishes a [[person]], and there are "special" regions of the [[human]] [[brain]], such as the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusiform_face_area fusiform face area] (FFA), which when damaged prevent the [[recognition]] of the faces of even [[intimate]] [[family]] members. The [[pattern]] of specific organs such as the eyes or parts thereof are used in [[Biology|biometric]] [[identification]] to uniquely identify [[individuals]].

==Metaphor==

By extension, anything which is the forward or world facing part of a [[system]] which has internal [[structure]] is considered its "face", like the façade of a building. For example a [[public]] [[relations]] or press officer might be called the "face" of the [[organization]] he or she [[represents]]. "Face" also refers to reputation or standing in [[society]], particularly Chinese [[society]] and is spoken of as a resource which can be won or lost. Because of the [[association]] with individuality the [[anonymous]] is sometimes called the "faceless".
