formazioni muscolo membranose tra il mascellare e la mandibola
Your cheeks are the areas of your face located below your eyes and between your nose and ears, and they're connected to your mouth through an inner region called the buccal cavity that sits between your teeth and gums. This anatomical feature is important because it's a distinct facial region with its own nerve supply (the buccal nerve) and serves as part of your mouth's structure, while similar features in other animals are sometimes called jowls.
