Nose

Externally, the nose (Fig. 17) is formed by the nasal bridge and lateral surfaces. Each lateral surface is formed by the Nasal bone, upper lateral Cartilage (triangular cartilage), and alar cartilage (wind cartilage). The nose widens downwards. The shape of the nose depends on The Structure of the nasal bone.
