A system of anatomy for the use of students of medicine (Volume 1). al portionsare sometimes spoken of as distinct cartilages, (superior lateral,)but they are really continuations of the middle portion or septum. Below the lower edge of these lateral portions are situatedthe cartilages which form the orifices of the nose, or the these, there is one of considerable size, (inferior lateral,) andseveral small fragments, on each side of the septum. Each ofthe larger cartilages forms a portionof an oval ring, which is placed ob-liquely on the side of the septum:so that the extremity of the oval pointsdownward and forward, while themiddle part of the oval is directed up-wards and backwards. The sidesof this cartilage are flat, and unequalin breadth. The narrowest side is in-ternal, and projects lower down thanthe cartilaginous septum; so that it isapplied to its fellow of the other external side is broader, and con-tinues backward and upward to a con-siderable distance. The upper and posterior part of this oval ring is deficient; but. * Fig. 33.—a, b, Ossa nasi, which show above, the serrated surface by which theyare united to the os frontis. c, d, Superior lateral cartilage, e, Vertical cartilagi-nous septum of the nose. /, /, Sesamoid cartilages, filling up part of the vacuityhere, g, I, Oval cartilages, or cartilages of the alae nasi, h, i, k, Small square carti-lages appended to the alse nasi and circumscribing the outer and back part of thenostrils, m, n, o, Same parts of the right side. vol. i. 35 410 0F THE NOSE. the remainder of the nostril consists of several small pieces ofcartilage, {curtilages carres,) which are fixed in a ligamentousmembrane that is connected by each of its extremities to theoval cartilage, and thus completes the orifice.
