The bony and esthetic harmony of the face (see p. 212)and superior part of the nasal pyramid is often broken on the function of the nasal cavity.

R, Rhinion. The bony portion of the nose is completely rigid. The flexible cartilaginous por- tion begins at the rhinion. The distal caudal lateral cartilages can move like the wings of a butterfly, whereas the alar cartilages move more like the wings of a bird. The nasal sep- tum is the center of stability. aus: Behrbohm u. a., Ear, Nose, and Throat Diseases (ISBN 9783136712030) © 2009 Georg Thieme Verlag KG Applied Anatomy and Physiology 117 The following blood vessels in the external nose lower lateral or alar cartilage, the medial crus of which are of practical importance: extends into the columella and the lateral crus of which ● Facial artery and its branches. supports the external wall of the vestibule (Figs. 2.1, 2.3a, ● Dorsal nasal artery, arising from the ophthalmic b). The alar cartilage determines the shape of the nasal tip artery. and the nasal apertures. Correcting this area is often an important part of rhinoplasty. Profuse hemorrhage can arise from these vessels when the central part of the face is injured. The angular vein is also clinically important. 9 Thrombophlebitis arising from a furuncle of the upper lip or the nose can spread via the ophthalmic vein to the cavernous sinus, causing a cavernous sinus thrombosis (see p. 189 and Fig. 2.2). The external nose derives its sensory nerve sup- 8 ply from the first and second branches of the tri- geminal nerve (see Fig. 2.15a, b). The muscles de- 10 rive their motor nerve supply from the facial nerve. 11a 1 11b ■ Nasal Cavity The interior of the nose is divided by the nasal septum into two cavities, which are usually unequal 6 7 2 in size. Each side may be divided into the nasal 3 vestibule and the nasal cavity proper (Fig. 2.3a, b). The nasal vestibule is covered by epidermis con- taining hairs (vibrissae)and sebaceous glands. The 5 4 latter are the site of origin of a nasal furuncle, which can thus only develop in the nasal cavity in the vestibule.
