NASAL CAVITY
The nasal cavity extends from the nostril in
front to the posterior nasal aperture or
Choanae behind
The nose opens into the nasopharynx
The nasal vestibule is the area of the nasal
cavity lying just inside the nostril.
The nasal cavity is divided into right and left
halves by the septum
