The bones that surround the anterior opening of the nose are primarily the nasal bones, which form the bridge of the nose, and the maxillae (upper jawbones) that contribute to the sides and base of the nasal cavity. Additionally, the frontal bone contributes to the upper part of the nasal structure. The nasal cartilages also play a role in forming the shape of the nostrils but are not bones.

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 function of the turbinates is to warm the air coming in and remove the moisture going out.
