lábio

Also known as lips

The lips are a horizontal pair of soft appendages attached to the jaws and are the most visible part of the mouth of many animals, including humans. Mammal lips are soft, movable and serve to facilitate the ingestion of food (e.g. suckling and gulping) and the articulation of sound and speech. Human lips are also a somatosensory organ, and can be an erogenous zone when used in kissing and other acts of intimacy.

AI overview

Lips are soft, movable parts of the mouth found in humans and many other mammals that help with eating, drinking, and speaking. They're also sensitive to touch and play a role in intimate physical contact like kissing.

Os lábios (superior e inferior) são as bordas de mucosa que revestem a boca humana. São uma semimucosa. Sua cor, largura e formato variam de acordo com a etnia e as características genéticas particulares herdadas dos ancestrais. Pessoas negras tendem a ter lábios mais grossos e largos do que as pessoas brancas. Algumas tribos da África sub-saariana e das Américas furam os lábios inferiores para introduzir uma argola. Esse costume é tido como algo de muito valor estético, um adorno para embelezamento. Em muitas dessas tribos, as mulheres sem argolas são preteridas às que as possuem. A perfuração do lábio se dá geralmente por volta no fim da infância. Lábio também pode ser a borda de objetos como xícaras e vasos.
