The physiologic and anatomical location of the bridge of the nose is generally considered to be the skin supported by the nasal skeleton and the bony elevation formed by the nasal cavity is called the bridge of the nose.
The bridge of the nose is an important part of the nose, also known as the dorsum of the nose, and has the appearance of skin, which is generally thin, pliable, and mobile. The tip of the nose is another part of the nose whose appearance needs to be differentiated from the bridge of the nose. The skin of the tip of the nose is dense, less elastic, and has more developed sweat glands.
The formation of the bridge of the nose is mainly an external manifestation of the internal scaffolding, which consists of a vault-like structure composed of both bone and cartilage. The upper third of the two sides of the nasal bone synthesized like an arch, the middle third of the two sides of the lateral cartilage and septal cartilage composition, the lower third of the nasal cartilage. The main function of the nasal cavity formed by the bridge of the nose is to exchange air, which is used to maintain the respiratory function.
The height and shape of the bridge of the nose has a great impact on the appearance of the patient, if the bridge of the nose is crooked or other discomforts in a timely manner to seek medical attention and formal treatment, so as not to cause adverse consequences.
