Cheek
Cheeks (Latin: buccae) constitute the area of the face below the eyes and between the nose and the left or right ear. “Buccal” means relating to the cheek. In humans, the region is innervated by the buccal nerve. The area between the inside of the cheek and the teeth and gums is called the vestibule or buccal pouch or buccal cavity and forms part of the mouth. In other animals the cheeks may also be referred to as jowls.
