a simple minded kid with "edge" questions....

Iam half way to modeling a ear for my character.
i want to know where i can find an option to make edges into a face?

i have here a screenshot of what i mean.
i want too make a face in the highlighted area.
how can i achieve it?? excluding "merge vertices" i want to keep the vertices in the same place.

extrude 1 of the edges, then you merge the vertices that arent connected

thanks joopson that worked.....great.

but is it still possible to get a group of edges (like the screenshot above) and make a face with out changing around the vertices?
