Human anatomy, including structure and development and practical considerations . ning part of the lower boundary of the aperture of the nostril,is devoid of cartilage and composed of integument and fatty connective rounded anterior angles of the lower lateral cartilages occupy the tip of thenose, close together when this is pointed, but separated by a space that showsexternally as a more or evident groove when the tip of the nose is bluntand broad. The median plates approach the septal cartilage closer in front thanbehind, where they curve outward to end in a rounded and upward curving fibrous tissue uniting the median borders of the lower lateral plates with theanterior edge of the septal cartilage usually contains two small sesamoid cartilages(cartilagines sesamoideae nasi) that partly fill the triangular intervals on either side ofthe median line. The vomerine cartilages (cartilagines vomeronasales) are two narrow strips,from 1-2 mm. wide and from 10-15 ^- lo^R that lie, one on either side, along thelower border of the septal cartilage. Bony and cartilaginou- of nose, front aspect. in the vicinity of the nasal are attached to the carti-lage and bone by fibrous tissueand situated beneath the mucousmembrane lining the nasal chief interest is their rela-tion to the rudimentary organof Jacobson (page 1417) belowwhich they lie. In animals inwhich the organs are well devel-oped these cartilages form i)rotect-ing and supporting scrolls ; inman, however, both organ andcartilage are so feebly developedthat thev loose their close relation.
