    The nasal cavity is a large, air-filled space above and behind the nose in the middle of the face. The nasal septum divides the cavity into two cavities, [1] also known as fossae. [2] Each cavity is the continuation of one of the two nostrils. The nasal cavity is the uppermost part of the respiratory system and provides the nasal passage for ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_septum_deviation

    A deviated septum is an abnormal condition in which the top of the cartilaginous ridge leans to the left or the right, causing obstruction of the affected nasal passage. It is common for nasal septa to depart from the exact centerline; the septum is only considered deviated if the shift is substantial or causes problems. [3]

  5. Nasal septum perforation - Wikipedia

The nose has an important function in breathing.

    Nasal septal hematoma is a condition affecting the nasal septum. [1] It can be associated with trauma. [2] A septal hematoma is blood that collects in the space between the septal cartilage and the overlying perichondrium (a cross section of the cartilaginous portion of the nasal septum). A hematoma may deprive the septal cartilage of its blood ...

    The septal nasal cartilage ( cartilage of the septum or quadrangular cartilage) is composed of hyaline cartilage. [ 1] It is somewhat quadrilateral in form, thicker at its margins than at its center, and completes the separation between the nasal cavities in front. Its anterior margin, thickest above, is connected with the nasal bones, and is ...
