Abstract:
The anatomy and physiology of the internal nose is not always given appropriate consideration when rhinoplastic surgery is performed. Knowledge of the basic physiologic mechanisms of normal nasal function should be a prerequisite to operating on the external nasal structures because of the close relationship between form and function. Although the goals of rhinoplastic surgery are largely to enhance the cosmetic appearance of the visible portion of the nose, it is incumbent upon the surgeon to respect and preserve the critical roles of those portions that remain unseen.

The nose and nasal cavity represent the main external openings of the respiratory tract.
Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
