Bones play a crucial role in providing structure and support to the nose. The nasal bones and surrounding structures create the overall shape and framework, helping to protect the delicate tissues of the nasal passages. Additionally, the bones support the cartilage that shapes the tip and sides of the nose, ensuring proper function and aesthetic appearance. This structural integrity is essential for effective breathing and olfactory (smell) functions.
