Manual of Diseases of the Throat and Nose

The human nose is the protruding part of the face that bears the nostrils. The shape of the nose isdetermined by the nasal bones and the nasal cartilages, including the septal cartilage and the upperand lower lateral cartilages. On average the nose of a male is larger than that of a female. In vertebrateanatomy, the throat is the front part of the neck, positioned in front of the vertebra. It contains thepharynx and larynx. An important section of it is the epiglottis, which is a flap separating the esophagusfrom the trachea (windpipe) preventing food and drink being inhaled into the lungs.
