The nose itself is made up of mostly cartilage. The facial bones of the skull that surround and help construct the base of the nose consist of the maxilla, the vomer bone, the ethmoid, and the nasal bone.
The nostrils are composed of branched "bones" or cartilages called turbinates. A turbinate is a long, narrow curled bone shelf. The function of the turbinates is to warm the air coming in and remove the moisture going out.
