English Language & Usage Asked on September 10, 2020
These are essentially all the organs which are attached to a creature’s head.
The closest phrase I’ve come across are head sensory organs, however I was hoping there was a more formal and scientific single word to describe these.
To give this context: I’m busy programming a system class structure which I’d like to use the proper scientific names for. This should therefore be such that a nose, eyes, ears and mouth are all types of word. In this case, “face” would not work, since a nose is not a type of face.
The nose, ears, mouth and eyes can be called features. Lexico has
feature
1.1 (usually features) A part of the face, such as the mouth or eyes, making a significant contribution to its overall appearance.
By mapping the face and focusing on features such as the eyes, nose and mouth, the system should be able to identify and help track down the closest match.
