A man with an exaggerated "Jewish nose" depicted on the cover of an American joke book, 1908. The Jewish nose, or the Jew's nose, [1] is an antisemitic ethnic stereotype [2] referring to a hooked nose with a convex nasal bridge and a downward turn of the tip of the nose. [3] It was singled out as a hostile caricature of Jews in mid-13th century ...
Human nose. The human nose is the first organ of the respiratory system. It is also the principal organ in the olfactory system. The shape of the nose is determined by the nasal bones and the nasal cartilages, including the nasal septum, which separates the nostrils and divides the nasal cavity into two.
The nasal septum contains bone and hyaline cartilage. [3] It is normally about 2 mm thick. [4] The nasal septum is composed of four structures: Maxillary bone (the crest) Perpendicular plate of ethmoid bone. Septal nasal cartilage (ie, quandrangular cartilage) Vomer bone. The lowest part of the septum is a narrow strip of bone that projects ...
Deviated nasal septum (DNS) An MRI image showing a congenitally deviated nasal septum, bowed to the left between the eye sockets. Specialty. Otorhinolaryngology. Nasal septum deviation is a physical disorder of the nose, involving a displacement of the nasal septum.
The normal (monocular) human visual field extends to approximately 60 degrees nasally (toward the nose, or inward) from the vertical meridian in each eye, to 107 degrees temporally (away from the nose, or outwards) from the vertical meridian, and approximately 70 degrees above and 80 below the horizontal meridian.
Nasal polyp. Nasal polyps ( NP) are noncancerous growths within the nose or sinuses. [1] Symptoms include trouble breathing through the nose, loss of smell, decreased taste, post nasal drip, and a runny nose. [1] The growths are sac-like, movable, and nontender, though face pain may occasionally occur. [1]
Aesthetic regions are used to describe the normal features of the face. These regions (forehead, cheeks, eyelids, lips, nose and chin) are defined by skin quality, border outline, and three-dimensional contour. The nose has nine aesthetic subunits, which are most important for reconstruction of the nose.
The lateral nasal cartilage ( upper lateral cartilage, lateral process of septal nasal cartilage) is situated below the inferior margin of the nasal bone, and is flattened, and triangular in shape. Its anterior margin is thicker than the posterior, and is continuous above with the septal nasal cartilage, but separated from it below by a narrow ...
Nasal hair or nose hair is the hair in the human nose. Adult humans have hair in the nostrils. Nasal hair functions include filtering foreign particles from entering the nasal cavity, and collecting moisture. [1] In support of the first function, the results of a 2011 study indicated that increased nasal hair density decreases the development ...
Nasal bridge. Nasal bridge is the bony part of the nose, overlying the nasal bones, above the part in blue labeled "Cartilage of Septum". The bridge is between the eyes, and just below them. The lower half of the nose is below the bridge. The nasal bridge is the upper, bony part of the nose, which overlies the nasal bones .
