...

WHAT DOES THE PYRAMID SHAPE WEDGE REFER TO?

NOSE

CONVEX NASAL PROFILE

PROFILE VIEW (ROMAN OR AQUILINE NOSE) SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS A HOOK OR HOOKED NOSE THE CONVEXITY MAY BE CONTINUOUS FROM ROOT TO TIP.

STRAIGHT NASAL PROFILE

PROFILE VIEW(GRECIAN) THIS IS THE MOST COMMON NASAL PROFILE ALL THREE POINTS OF REFERENCE (DORSUM) ARE IN A STRAIGHT LINE.

CONCAVE NASAL PROFILE

PROFILE VIEW(INFANTILE, PUG, OR BUTTON, RETROUSSE OR SNUB) THE PROTRUDING LOBE TURNS UP AT THE END.

LEPTORRHINE

RACIAL CLASSIFICATION (CAUCASIAN) LEPTO=THIN AND RHINO= NOSE THIS TYPE OF NOSE IS DESCRIBED AS LONG, STRAIGHT, NARROW, AND IT IS PROMINENT AT THE BRIDGE.

MESSORRHINE

RACIAL CLASSIFICATION (MONGLOID) MESO=MIDDLE, MEDIUM RHINO= NOSE. THIS PROFILE IS CONSIDERED TO BE INTERMEDIATE IT IS SHORTER THAN THE LEPTORRHINE IT IS NARROWER THAN PLATYRRHINE.

PLATYRRHINE

RACIAL CLASSIFICATION(AFRICAN AMERICAN) PLATY=BROAD AND FLAT, RHINO=NOSE. DESCRIBED AS A SHORTER NOSE WITH A MINIMAL PROJECTION AT THE BRIDGE AND BROAD AT THE BASE.

WHAT ARE THE 3 POINTS OF REFERENCE FOR THE NOSE?

ROOT, BRIDGE, AND PROTRUDING LOBE. (ALL PARTS OF THE DORSUM)

NASAL SULCUS

THE ANGULAR DEPRESSION LOCATED AT THE POSTERIOR MARGIN OF THE WING AND THE SUPERIOR END OF THE NASOLABIAL FOLD.

DORSUM

THE ANTERIOR RIDGE OF THE NOSE COMPOSED OF THREE PARTS THE ROOT, THE BRIDGE, THE PROTRUDING LOBE.

ROOT OF THE NOSE

THE CONCAVE DIP BELOW THE GLABELLA AT THE ARTICULATION OF THE FRONTAL AND NASAL BONES.

BRIDGE OF THE NOSE

THE DOME LIKE STRUCTURE OVER THE UPPER PART OF THE NASAL CAVITY AND FORMED BY THE NASAL BONES.

GLABELLA

THE FOREHEAD EMINENCE ON THE LOWER PORTION OF THE FRONTAL BONE JUST SUPERIOR TO THE ROOT OF THE NOSE.

ARCH OF THE WING

THE INFERIOR MARGIN OF THE WING WHICH DISPLAYS A CONCAVE ARC.

SIDES OF THE NOSE

PROTRUDING LOBE

THE SPHERICAL AREA FORMING THE INFERIOR PART OF THE DORSUM IT ADJOINS THE WINGS AND THE COLUMNA NASI, IT INCLUDES THE TIP OF THE NOSE WHICH IS THE POINT OF GREATEST PROJECTION.

SEPTUM

THE VERTICAL CARTILAGE OF THE NOSE IT DIVIDES THE NASAL CAVITY TO MAKE TWO RELATIVELY EQUAL CHAMBERS.

COLUMNA NASI

THE VISIBLE PORTION OF THE SEPTUM REFERRED TO AS THE SUPERFICIAL PARTITION BETWEEN THE NOSTRILS ALSO CONSIDERED THE MOST INFERIOR PART OF THE NOSE.

WINGS OF THE NOSE
