  Nasal Anatomy & Function - Rhinoplasty 4 You
The cartilaginous frame-work (cartilagines nasi) consists of five large pieces, viz., the cartilage of the septum, the two lateral and the two greater alar cartilages, and several smaller pieces, the lesser alar cartilages.
The cartilage of the septum (cartilago septi nasi) is somewhat quadrilateral in form, thicker at its margins than at its center, and completes the separation between the nasal cavities in front.
The arteries of the external nose are the alar and septal branches of the external maxillary, which supply the alæ and septum; the dorsum and sides being supplied from the dorsal nasal branch of the ophthalmic and the infraorbital branch of the internal maxillary.

 Nasal septum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 Olfactory System - LoveToKnow 1911
In this way the nasal cavities are formed, but for some time they are separated from the mouth by a thin bucc08 nasal membrane which eventually is broken through; after this the mouth and nose are one cavity until the formation of the palate in the third month (see Mouth And Salivary Glands).
Free dissection of the redundant tissue from around the nasal cartilages is necessary in lipoma nasi, skin being grafted on to the raw surface.
The chief diseases of the nasal septum are abscesses, due to the breaking down of haematomata, syphilitic gummata (leading to deep excavation and bony destruction), tuberculous disease in which a small yellowish grey ulcer forms and what is known as perforating ulcer of the septum, which is met with just within the nostril.

In the septum close to this recess a minute orifice may be discerned; it leads backward into a blind pouch, the rudimentary vomeronasal organ of Jacobson, which is supported by a strip of cartilage, the vomeronasal cartilage.
The nerves of ordinary sensation are: the nasociliary branch of the ophthalmic, filaments from the anterior alveolar branch of the maxillary, the nerve of the pterygoid canal, the nasopalatine, the anterior palatine, and nasal branches of the sphenopalatine ganglion.
The nasociliary branch of the ophthalmic distributes filaments to the forepart of the septum and lateral wall of the nasal cavity.

 eMedicine - Rhinoplasty, Internal Valve Stenosis : Article Excerpt by: David Núñez-Fernández, MD, PhD
The nasal valve area (see Image 1) is formed by the nasal septum, the caudal border of the ULC, the head of the inferior turbinate, and the pyriform aperture and the tissues that surround it.
He developed this concept further in 1920, suggesting that the greatest area of resistance was in the limen nasi or the union of the lobular cartilage and ULCs.
In 1940, Uddstromer found that 70% of the resistance of the nose was produced in the nasal valve area and the remaining 30% was due to the nasal fossa.

Through a transfixion incision, the caudal septum was denuded and placed in a shallow groove created in the middle of the columellar tissue.
It was a widely held opinion that partial or complete removal of the membranous septum would result in great discomfort to the patient and a displeasing appearance, particularly with changes of expression.
The membranous septum consists of 2 layers of loose areolar tissue transversed by the depressor septi nasi muscle.

—The nasal cavities are two irregular spaces, situated one on either side of the middle line of the face, extending from the base of the cranium to the roof of the mouth, and separated from each other by a thin vertical septum.
They open on the face through the pear-shaped anterior nasal aperture, and their posterior openings or choanæ communicate, in the fresh state, with the nasal part of the pharynx.
It presents, in front, a large, triangular notch, which receives the cartilage of the septum; and behind, the free edge of the vomer.

In order to determine the flow resistance over a nostril with related nose cavity it is necessary to determine the pressure difference created from the nostril opening to epipharynx the rear edge of the nose separation (septum nasi) during breathing in or out, simultaneously with the corresponding air flow.
In order to determine the flow resistance over the respective nostril and related nose cavity in a patient, it is necessary to determine the pressure difference which during breathing in or out is created from the nostril opening to the rear edge of the nose separation (septum nasi), (epipharynx) simultaneously with the corresponding air flow.
In order to determine the resistance over the respective nostrils the examiner is forced to determine the pressure created from the individual nostrils opening to the top of the septum (the edge of the nose separation) during breathing in or out, when a suitable flow is present.

Its surface is marked by numerous furrows for vessels and nerves and by the grooves for the nasopalatine nerve, and is traversed by sutures connecting the bones of which it is formed.
The cleft may affect one or both sides; if the latter, the central part is frequently displaced forward and remains united to the septum of the nose, the deficiency in the alveolus being complicated with a cleft in the lip (hare-lip).
In those cases where the palatine processes fail to unite with each other and with the medial process, the cleft of the palate is median; where one palatine process unites with the medial septum, the other failing to do so, the cleft in the palate is unilateral.
