Abstract
The external nose contains the right and left nostrils (or nares), each communicating with the nasal cavities via a slight dilatation just inside the nostril called the nasal vestibule. Bone from the frontal, maxillary and nasal bones supports the upper one-third of the external nose while cartilage supports the lower two-thirds.
