The nose is made of bone and flexible?
Just the bridge of your nose is bone (paired nasal bones). The tip of your nose is hyaline cartilage. The same stuff a shark's skeleton is made out of. Neat, huh?
Does you nose grow when your dead?
The nose bone doesn't go anywhere when you die (I assume you mean after decomposition). The base of the nose is part of your skull and made of bone, but the bottom half, the tip, is made of cartilage. Cartilage will decompose as it is a tissue, not bone.
Does the nose have a bone?
Approximately the top 1/4 ot the external part of the nose is made of bone and the whole od the internal nasal cavity is within bone but the main part of the external nose is cartillage. yes it has a small bone
Why don't you have a nose bone?
A nose is made up manly of cartilage which can bend unlike bone. Your ears are made up of cartilage. Your nose does have a bone in it but it is located at the top of the bridge of the nose close to the skull.
Are there bones in noses?
Yes. The bridge of the nose is the nasal bone. The lower part of the nose is made up of cartilage.
What tissue is the nose made of?
The nose is composed of and bounded by bone and cartilage covered with skin and lined with mucous membrane.
What are two parts of your body that are made of cartilage that did not turn out to be a bone?
ears and nose
What kind of bone is your outer ear and the tip of your nose made up of?
Thats not bone. The outer ear and tip of the nose is made of something called cartilage. When you are born, most of your body is made of cartilage. Over your childhood, cartilage fuses into bones, this is also why babies and young children are more flexible that grown adults. Some parts of your body, such your nose and your ear, never change into bone, and are forever cartilage. :)

Do humans have nose bones?
No, you don't have a nose bone. The hard surface you feel on your nose is cartilage, a kind of soft tissue. There are also cartilage on your ear. If your nose was made of bone, then you wouldn't be able to move it, same with your ears.
When your nose is broken what breaks if it hasn't got a bone?
There is a bone in the nose and that is what breaks. See the link below ( elevating a fractured nose)
Why aren't the ears or the nose on the skull?
Because the skull is made of bone/calcium while the ears and nose are made of cartilage. It takes longer for bones to degrade and turn into dust. With the nose and ears, there are no bones involved so degradation occurs in a more rapid timeline.
