nasal bone
Bridge support structure
The nasal bone is one of a pair of small bones that form the bridge of the nose.
These bones meet at the midline and articulate with the frontal bone above and the cartilage of the nose below.
Fractures of the nasal bones are among the most common facial injuries: The boxer broke his nasal bone in the third round.
