Anatom3DCartilaginous part of nasal septum
Pars cartilaginea septi nasi · Chrupavčitá část nosní přepážky
Joints & cartilage
Looks like
The front, flexible part of the nasal partition, a thin plate of cartilage between the two nostrils.
What it does
Supports the tip and bridge of the nose and keeps the two air passages apart.
Keeping it well
After a blow, a blood collection here (septal haematoma) can destroy the cartilage within days; a painful swollen septum needs urgent drainage.
