Your nose is a complex structure that allows you to breathe and smell. It's built primarily from bone and cartilage, with a layer of connective tissue and skin covering the framework.
- The bridge of your nose is the bony part, formed by two small nasal bones and extensions of the maxillae (upper jaw bones).
- The rest of the nose, including the tip and sides, is made of cartilage which makes it flexible.
This combination of bone and cartilage provides the necessary structure and flexibility for your nose to perform its functions.
