What is the nasal spine of the maxilla?
These are the three types of cartilage of the nose
The superior lateral cartilage, the inferior lateral cartilage, and the septum are the three cartilages of the nose.
This cartilage of the nose creates the sides of the nose and round down to the lobe.
What is the inferior lateral cartilage?
This part of the nose divides the nasal cavity into right, and left chambers
What is the septum?
This part of the nose is the anterior ridge of the nose and it’s composed of the following parts: the root, the bridge, the protruding lobe, and the tip.
