The Nasal Bones

The Nasal Bones

Each of the nasal bones is a small rectangular bone which together form the bridge of the nose above the nasal cavity also called the piriform aperture. They articulate with each other by way of the internasal suture and with the frontal bone superiorly by way of the fronto-nasal suture just below the glabellar region of the frontal bone. The intersection of these two sutures marks the anatomical landmark called nasion. Laterally, each of the nasal bones articulates with the frontal process of the maxilla.

A nasal touches, or articulates, the following bones:

  • Frontal
  • Maxilla
  • Nasal
